Bright garland with macramé feathers
Anleitung No. 2076First, cut off a sufficiently long piece, Ribbon lay it twice and make a knot at one end to form a loop. Then cut a piece of cardboard to your liking, which will be about the same width as yours. Therefore you wind your Yarn wool many times. How often depends on how thick your material is and how luxurious you Feathers want it to be.
Now place your individual yarn sections once above and once below the long thread. The end pieces are always placed under the loop of the other section.
You can let the loops of the section below always point in one direction or alternately tie them. That means sometimes the lower loop is on the left (and top right) and sometimes it is on the right (and top left).
Depending on the material used, you can create a wide variety of individual pieces, Feathers and the number of sections you need will also vary
If you then use different colours or combine different yarns and wool, you can create numerous individual Feathers ones.
When yours Feathers are finished, comb them out. Depending on the material, different tools are always better suited. Do this until the individual yarn sections are no longer twisted and fall loosely and fluffy. When combing you should always start at the end and then slowly work your way to the middle. That way you will prevent the individual threads from knotting too tightly
If the threads do not come loose as desired, e.g. with a comb, then use a needle with a round tip to loosen the cord pieces
Then you can cut yours into Feathers the desired shape.
If you have finished enough Feathers , you can now attach them to the branch. Either directly on it, with an extra piece on Ribbon, the eyelets or a combination of all of these
For my variant, they are Feathers partly threaded Warp yarn on one piece and partly knotted tightly. Wrap this around the branch and fix it Yarn to the outer eyelets.
Have fun doing it!
