I would twist the fringe to prevent it becoming a snarled mess. I've seen ponchos & similar with fringe and blanket scarves are still popular (or at least, I still like and wear mine).
That's a very good point about blanket scarves. This yarn actually looks really pretty twisted, so I'm probably worrying for nothing. (As usual!) Thanks for the input. 😊
As a poncho I would leave it. As a top I would somehow remove them. All in all it looks great! 👍🏻 my dream when I started to weave is to create garments. It’s always a work in progress and learning curve.
I like that idea. I'd like to try another one in a thinner yarn, so that would give me an opportunity to try a fringeless style. I know what you mean - I've made clothes from regular yardage, but not yet from handwovens. It's scarier but so rewarding. 😊
Such pretty colors! Huh, I've been wondering about weaving fabric for a poncho. I knit one for my godmother ages ago and she loved and wore it a lot then accidentally machine washed it to death 😥 She asked me for a new one and she is knitworthy for sure but it was SO boring to knit and took so long. But you're making me think maybe I can do this instead and add on a knit cowl neck. Hmmm!
Oh that's so sad! I'm also a knitter and one of the things I love about weaving is that it's so much faster. Granted, I do prefer knitting for small things and I LOVE doing cables etc, but big boring stockinette pieces just kill me. I'm intrigued by your idea. If you make it please let me know, I'd love to see pictures!
I actually just bought Caron Spice Cakes, which is a #6. I've also got some Thick and Quick in my stash somewhere, I think. I've got about 5 yarns I'm trying to weave with and film so stay tuned and I'll work these in as soon as I can. 😊
Thank you! I've never braided fringe, so that could be really great. You all have given me too many good suggestions - I might need to make a second one! 😄
Beautiful. You are so talented. Love your videos. I've learned a lot. ❤
Thank you so much! I'm glad the videos are helpful. 😊

I think the fringe is great just as is.
Thank you!
I like the fringe
Thanks for chiming in! I appreciate it. ☺️
I would cut a couple inches off and then twist it. I love it. Beautiful color way!!
I'm starting to think that's exactly the right way to go. Thank you! ☺️

Nice. I would Do a half damask edge.
Oooh! I hadn't even thought of that! GREAT suggestion! I'm curious to see how that would affect the drape. 🤔
Can you try some of the super bulky yarns, such as WoolEase thick and quick or fleece type yarns weight #6?

The fringe is wonderful but I wonder how much of a pain it will become since it is hanging around your areas.
It is a lot of yarn for sure! 😁
What if you braided the fringe? I kinda like it with the fringe long but I can see that it wouldn’t be practical. Either way it looks really pretty.

Put a belt on and cinch it. It may look less bulky.
Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
