[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Weaving in in Ann’s of chenille yarn

[Becky Frankeberger]

My advice to weave in chenille yarn is, take the fuzz off the yarn. Run your nail over and over the fuzz until you only have a thinner thread. Then weave it in. It is almost undetectable by a green horn crafter. It really is so much flatter and lays into the yarn better if you take off the fuzzy part of the yarn.

I still haven’t washed my scarf because I want to weave the chenille ends in to make it look nice and more safe so it doesn’t come apart. Then I can wash this sucker and pack it away for next year. I think half of our stuff is in one house and half of our stuff is in another house right now.
