My fourth and final Weave a Tiny Tapestry tutorial is up on Digits & Threads today!, Canada's online fibre magazine.
Be sure to read the first three segments where we covered an introduction to important tapestry vocabulary and best practices; next steps (how to make and warp up a cardboard loom, how to start your tapestry with twining, as well as basic weaving and shape building techniques); and how to blend colours (using the foundational tapestry technique ‘meet-and-separate,’ creating smooth diagonal lines by being intentional about which warp we decrease on and learning to create the straightest possible horizontal line). Today we delve into finishing techniques, and I will show you three ways to enjoy your finished tapestry: by adding twine to create a hanging decoration, turning it into a magnet, or adding a pin to wear it as a brooch. To get your 15% off discount for a membership to Digits & Threads use the code 'EVERLEA' at checkout. READ THE TUTORIAL

![]() About the Everlea Guide to Vancouver Yarn Hi, I'm Janna. I'm the proprietor, natural dyer and instructor at Everlea Yarn. I am a tapestry weaver, longtime knitter and 2013 graduate of Concordia University's Fibres and Material Practices program. I created Vancouver Yarn in 2008 as a space to hold as much of the textile awesomeness that I could find in and around Vancouver. Here on the VY blog I mostly share about local events, pattern releases as well as share Community Highlights. Do you have an event you'd like me to post? Simply email me at janna (at) everleayarn.ca Thank you, Janna Archives
