2. Wrap the yarn around the embroidery hoop until you cover about ¾ of the hoop.
3. Take your string (or thin ribbon) and wrap it sporadically across the embroidery hoop.
4. Cut the yarn and ribbon to the desired length then tie onto the embroidery hoop – covering the remaining ¼ of the embroidery hoop. (When you decide the length of the tail ends you want, double it because you will be folding it in half to tie onto the embroidery hoop).
