Textielstad’s tip for Smyrna Stramien 200 cm:

📌 Stop the edges from fraying while you work by hemming them or taping them with masking tape. That makes knotting much more pleasant. As yarn usage depends heavily on pile height, we recommend allowing plenty of material. It is best to test your chosen yarn on a small sample first to check the tension and overall effect.
