Perfect Tassel Tips & Tricks

Who doesn’t love a good tassel or two? Really, any fun, textural way to show off yarn is fine by me! Other than fringe, tassels and pom poms are probably the most iconic ways to add that last bit of tsuj to top off your knit, crochet, macrame or weaving project. Tassels are the fun part of yarn crafting – you don’t have to count stitches or take yourself too seriously when you make them. They can show off your yarn in different ways than standard patterns may allow, which can be really refreshing!

In the video tutorial below, learn my best tips for getting perfect tassels every time. I’m using the new Boye Tassel Maker, but you can easily use all of the featured tips for making tassels other ways, even with a good old cardboard rectangle. Enough of my babbling – on to the video! :)
