Tools

Procedure

Step 1

String the individual threads for the tassel. The tassel consists of 12 strung rocaille cords. Cut off about 0.50 m of thread. String 1x R, 1x FPB6 and 5.5 cm R. Slide them to about the centre of the thread. Thread the line through 1x  FPB6 and the 5.5 cm R once again.

Step 2

Once you have 12 cords, place them together. Straighten them together with the end of the rocaille stringing. Tie them all together with a knot. Make a large loop in the thread and pass the end of the thread through it.

Step 3

Prepare the thread for the skirt. The skirt is made of 10 tassels consisting of B and R, with FPB6 in the lower section and sewn into a mesh in the higher section using FPB3. Cut off about 3.20 m of thread. Thread it into the eye of the needle. String 1x R onto the thread. 
Arrange the thread into two equal lengths (2 x 1.60 m). Tie off the ends of the threads (a small knot like a weaver‘s knot). Slide the strung 
1x R up to the knot. String 1x FPB6 and hide the knot in it.

String the arm on the other side in the same way. Then tie off the ends of the lines with five knots. Pull the ends and the knot into the FPB.
