After weaving the body, let’s finish your weaving project. The finishing work I usually perform includes the following:
- Weaving a header on the top edge side
- Taking down the weaving and cut the excess yarn
- Making the fringe
- Sewing the edges
- Ironing
Here are the details of each procedure.
1. Weaving the top header
After weaving the body, weave the header again in the reverse order of the bottom header.









If you weave the bottom header in the order of a line of twining and 6-pick plain weaving, weave in the order of 6-pick plain weaving as shown in photo 1 and a line of twining for the top header as shown in photos 2 through 7.
I usually weave separate warp threads for the top side header, one for 6-pick weaving and one for twining weaving.
After finishing weaving the header with tailing, unwind the ordering cord and waste yarn as shown in photo 8.
To continue weaving another piece, move down the piece you have just woven as shown in photo 9, allowing sufficient warp spacing, and start again from the ordering code for the new piece.
FYI: See the following article for more information on tailing processes:
2. Taking down the weaving and cut the excess yarn






Photos 1 through 3: After all pieces have been woven, unwind both the ordering cord and waste yarn, then take the finished pieces down from the loom. I use scissors to cut at the top edge of the warp.
Photo 4: Do not cut the warp yarn so much. It is easier to make fringes if you leave the warp longer.
Photos 5 and 6: Cut the excess weft yarn on the back. I would leave about a half inch for the weft yarn on the back side just in case it needs to be reworked later.
3. Making the fringe
Once the back side is a little squeaky clean, you can start making the fringe with the back side up.
The video shows my favorite procedure for making fringe.















Photos 1-12 are screenshots showing the key points of the procedure.
Before starting to weave the warp, in photos 2 and 3, the six warps on the right side are lengthened to make it easier to braid at the end.
For weaving the warp, see enlarged images next to photos 5 and 6.
The warp is woven as follows:
- Pinch the first warp and the second warp from the left, place the first warp under the second warp, and pull the first warp toward the body. The second warp is still facing down.
- Next, pick up the second and third warps, place the second warp under the third warp, and pull the second warp toward the body. The third warp is still facing down.
- Repeat this procedure.
When the six threads of warp on the right side are left, make three bundles and braid them together.
If the warp on the back side is too long, cut it off leaving about 1 inch.
4. Sewing the edges





Photos 1 and 2: I recommend you sew the edges with a sewing machine for a clean finish.
Photos 3 through 5: After sewing the edges, cut the excess warp.
5. Ironing


I recommend you iron the finished pieces once so that the excess yarn on the back side does not stick outward.
If there is more excess yarn on the back side, cut it off. I often leave each excess yarn about a half inch.
The pieces are now complete!
