Well, I can't lie. This is one of the more time consuming weavings I've done. It's also the first time I'm really excited to get this done and over with because I want to see what happens after I dye it. I'm like a little kid that can't sit still. Even though it's been a bit tedious, the actual gathering and bunching part of the process is definitely my favorite. It's a good way to get out one's frustrations.
Let me step you through the oh-so-not-difficult process of bunching:
The trick is to pull from one side to the half way point then knot that side:
Then pull from the other side taking care not to break the thread. Then knot those together as tightly as possible:
Keep going until you have a nicely knotted heap of thread:
All ready to dye!
