String Silencer Issues

[Randy Koleno]

If I'm bored, I'll use scissors and my mustache trimmer to give my hush puppies that clean and tight look.

I wrap the wool around 3 of my fingers, # of wraps vary. Then insert that through the strings. Then just slide a pair of sharp scissors into all the loops on one side and cut them all at once, then the other side. Makes for a nice even ball.

This is what I do too. The number of wraps varies depending on the thickness of the yarn. I am using pretty thin yarn now and use 30 wraps around 3 fingers. I then use a piece of serving thread and tie it in the middle of the wraps. I then insert half the puff and one of the strings through my string and tie the puff to my string with a square knot. String up the bow, cut the loops with scissors, and trim where needed to even it out.

And Use enough yarn!
