I have a question about weaving a mohair throw. I’m a new weaver. Looking at an older mohair throw purchased close to 40 years ago, I don’t see any hemstitching at the beginning or end of the blanket by the fringe on the warp ends. Do you recommend doing a hemstitch at the beginning and end of a mohair throw or will the fibres grab onto each other and secure the weaving? If yes, on hemstitching, do you do a regular hemstitch, as on your help page, do you use the weft colour/fibre for this?
I have always hemstitched my mohair blankies using the weft mohair and the regular hemstitching. You don’t have to worry about anything wiggling out while you are fulling. Keep your fringes around 4″ long.
