Hey lovelies, this is one for my tapestry weaver friends! No, this isn't a tutorials kind of channel, but I have been asked about how I weave my hems, and I couldn't find anything on YouTube ... so here we are!

I learnt this technique while studying my Diploma Of Visual Art (Tapestry) through South West TAFE at Warrambool, though they credit the Australian Tapestry Workshop.

START AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TAPESTRY:
1. Weave hem of 2cm with waste yarn
2. 3 passes of main yarn
3. 1 pass double half hitches with 2 strands of yarn
4. 3 passes of warp yarn (usually seine twine)
5. 1 pass double half hitches with 1 strand of yarn
6. 1 pass soumac with main yarn
7. 1 pass double half hitches with main yarn

Weave tapestry!
