FINISHING

Fringe:  Twist the two 12” long strands at each color change tog tightly, forming a twisted cord.  Knot ends making sure cord does not untwist.  To fill in fringe between these cords, cut 24” long strands of Barley, fold strand in half, pull fold through end of scarf forming a loop, then pull ends through this loop.  Twist ends to form cords as before.  Add these cords wherever you would like to give fringe a more uniform appearance.  The length of cords may be varied if desired.
