Twisted fringe Twisted sliver
1. Clamp twister to a table.
2. Divide into groups of desired thickness.
Hint: Usually 4 – 6 wool strands or 6 – 8 cotton
warp ends work well for most items.
3. Take the first group and divide in half, clamp each
half in a clip. Do the same with the next group.
4. Place a hand on the garment to keep tension on
the stands clipped to the twister, turn the handle
clockwise as many times as desired (take note of
how many rotations, and repeat across fringe, this
will ensure an even twist and length).
5. To ply, remove from clips and finish by knotting the
two halves together close to the end. The two halves
will twist anticlockwise to create the fringe.
6. Repeat from step 1, working along the garment.
1. Clamp twister to a table.
2. Divide sliver into even desired thicknesses. Clip
each length in place.
5. Tie a knot in each end to secure.
Hints:
Twisted sliver can be felted by hand or in your washing
machine.
If handle squeaks, apply a drop of oil to the shafts.
Hold handle in the centre, pull away and turn gently.
3. Place a hand on the ends of the sliver and rotate
the handle clockwise until the sliver is twisted.
4. Holding onto the ends, unclip and place all 4
opposite ends into one clip and rotate anti-
clockwise.
