How do I make a fringe on a blanket made with blanket yarn?

Hey there! I’m a supplier of blanket yarn, and I get a ton of questions about making a fringe on blankets made with our awesome blanket yarn. Today, I’m gonna walk you through the whole process step by step. Blanket Yarn

First off, let’s talk about why adding a fringe to your blanket is such a great idea. A fringe can really take your blanket from ordinary to extraordinary. It adds a touch of style and a cozy, bohemian vibe. Whether you’re making a blanket for yourself, a gift for a friend, or for sale, a fringe can make it stand out.

Before we start, you’ll need a few things. Obviously, you’ll need your blanket made with our blanket yarn. You’ll also need a pair of sharp scissors. That’s pretty much it! Oh, and maybe a little patience, but that’s more of a mindset than a physical tool.

The first step is to decide how long you want your fringe to be. This is totally up to you. You can go for a short, neat fringe that’s just a couple of inches long, or a long, flowing fringe that reaches down several inches. I usually recommend starting with a medium length, around 3 – 4 inches, and then you can always trim it later if you want.

Once you’ve decided on the length, it’s time to prepare the edges of your blanket. If your blanket has a finished edge, like a crochet or knit border, you’ll need to carefully remove a small section of it to expose the yarn strands. If your blanket doesn’t have a border, you’re good to go.

Now, it’s time to start creating the fringe. Take a small section of the yarn at the edge of the blanket. You can do this by grabbing a few strands at a time. Make sure you’re grabbing the yarn from the same side of the blanket, so all the fringes will hang in the same direction.

Once you’ve grabbed a section of yarn, use your scissors to cut through the strands. Make sure you cut cleanly and evenly. You want each fringe to be the same length. It might take a little practice to get the hang of it, but don’t worry, you’ll get better with each cut.

As you’re cutting, try to keep the fringes as straight as possible. You can use a ruler or a piece of cardboard as a guide if you need to. Just line it up along the edge of the blanket and cut along it.

After you’ve cut a few fringes, you can gently pull on them to make sure they’re all the same length. If any of them are a little too long, you can trim them down.

Keep repeating this process all the way around the edge of the blanket. It might take a while, especially if you have a large blanket, but it’s worth it. The end result will be a beautiful, fringed blanket that you’ll be proud to show off.

Once you’ve finished cutting all the fringes, you can give them a little shake to fluff them up. This will make them look even more full and cozy.

Now, let’s talk about some tips and tricks to make the process even easier. One thing you can do is to mark the length of the fringe on the edge of the blanket before you start cutting. You can use a piece of tape or a pen to do this. This will help you keep the fringes the same length and make the process go a lot faster.

Another tip is to use a sharp pair of scissors. Dull scissors can make the cutting process more difficult and can result in uneven fringes. Make sure you keep your scissors sharp by using them regularly and cleaning them after each use.

If you’re having trouble cutting through the yarn, you can try using a pair of fabric shears. These are designed to cut through thick materials like yarn and can make the process a lot easier.

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment with different lengths and styles of fringe. You can try making some fringes longer than others, or you can create a tiered effect by cutting the fringes at different lengths. The possibilities are endless!
