About
Learn the traditional techniques for making tassels, but with distinctly contemporary, decorative features to give your work an individual touch.
Working with wooden tassel moulds and fine cotton and rayon yarns in a glorious colour range, techniques include how to cover the tassel mould vertically with yarn, or roll the mould horizontally with cord, make a plain cut skirt and trial a ruff or embroidered ‘waist’. Techniques for making twisting cord using a special four-hook cord-winding tool are also explored.
