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

[Ericka]

I have some super Duper really chunky chenille that I accidentally picked up at Walmart. I am nearly done as a course really super chunky stuff it’s up quick. I think I might try this thing it out deal with this one. The tail is kind of short. Should I leave it in with the corner or along the edge?

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.

>> What kind of needle do I need to weave and chunkier have your yarn when you finish a project? Where can I find it? 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.
