Preventing Bunches

When you weave through the mesh, you have to be extremely aware of the tension of the final pull of the yarn through the holes.

If you don't pull the yarn tight enough, there will be bunches in the yarn that will make the finished product feel rough and will snag easily.

If you pull too tightly, the mesh will pull into the center and you will have a wasp-waisted product. The edges will probably have a ripple as the center tightens.

The best way to work the yarn is to pull it smoothly tight. Then run your hand up the row to smooth the mesh upwards along the length of the yarn.

Thanks for visiting with me,
