When you’ve used different colours, it’s important to know how to weave in the thread ends into your work.
You will need a tapestry needle.
Weave in the ends along the edge:
- More noticeable
- Easy to do
With your tapestry needle, on the wrong side (the back of your project) you will thread it through the surface loops.
I’m going down one direction at least an inch long and for me that’s about five loops. And then coming back up the second direction, doing it exactly the same, weaving it in through those surface loops in the back of my work, on the wrong side.
Weave in the ends on the diagonal:
- Less noticeable
- Little bit trickier to do
Taking your tapestry needle, I like to start toward the left side a little bit, and then you are going to pick up the second stitch over so that you’re actually doing it a little bit diagonal rather than straight down how we did the last time.
Now for your third loop, go ahead and pick one up right next to that second one over to the left and then what you’re going to do is you’re going to bring it up through that exact same first loop. And we just repeat this.
