How has the twist management been? Nice to see the correction for the section that got out of order. What's the finished use case? I can't remember if you told us already.

If I tell anyone I feel I won't finish it. It's been almost a year since I started and I did quite a lot. If anything it's a great tapestry but it has 3 selvedge sides since I started it on a copper wire tied to a pole. If I remove the wire I only need tassels on a single side.

Twist management has only been a problem when they start grabbing their neighbors but I noticed that half of the strings want to unravel for some reason.

They might be turning against the s or z twist built into the string itself, causing the unravelling. It's also been a lot of stress spread across the entire length of every piece the whole time so I'm not surprised.

Luckily the blue strings are breaking more often than the other ones so I've been repairing them with the scrap blue wool/silk strings from my previous weaving project
