Hi there!

I recently made some scrunchies (half double crochet worked around a hair tie) with Bernat Velvet Plus yarn, where I tied off the ends once done in a knot and clipped the excess using scissors.

As you can imagine, the bit where I cut off using scissors is “exposed” and really prone to shedding (the picture shows my fingers where the ends of the yarn is around the knot).

Does anyone have any tips in this situation on how I can prevent shedding?

Many thanks!

Hi there!

Totally know this is the wrong sub to ask for help/suggestions for a LOTR-inspired colour palette to be used to make chunky blankets. However, seeing as this community is exceptionally familiar with adaptation of colours, I thought I’d give it a shot 🥺

Here are some pictures with some yarn colour options for the Shire/Hobbiton, Rivendell, Rohan, Gondor, and Mordor. I was hoping if I could get any thoughts/suggestions to help in the direction of the colour palette I’m leaning towards for each. Please bear in mind, these are to be made into blankets so I have to consider how they’d look in homes (hence why the deliberate choice to not use deep saturated colours).

Thanks in advance!
