Hi, Melissa. I do a few things to make sure my baby blankets won’t unravel. When I take them off the loom, I do a row of straight stitch and a row of zig-zag along the very edge on my sewing machine. Then, I machine stitch the binding on, adding another level of security.

Enjoy your weaving!

Your blankets are beautiful!
How do you secure weft ends to ensure there will be no unravelling with washing and heavy use?

Thank you

Allison -

I did a simple straight draw for both warp and weft for this baby blanket, and just a plain weave. Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Hello.I am searching for a diamond pattern to use for a baby’s shawl.
The example at the top of this page would be perfect.
May I know the lifting pattern,tie-up, etc please?
I will be weaving the shawl using 110/3 Merino.

Kind regards,

Allison Dalley.

Kristen – Sarah is, of course, the baby I referred to in the post above, and you (two) remain remarkably gracious.
