Practical advice
- Always leave a slightly long thread (10–15 cm) so that you can hide it later with a wool needle between the stitches.
- If your project has multiple colors or seams, be sure to finish off each strand before finishing your project.
- For a cleaner finish, don't make visible knots : simply hide the thread in the weave.
