Mend with MINNA - How to Fix a Snag

If you've been using your MINNA handwoven Throws or Blankets for a long while, you've most likely have seen a thread or two unravel. This is normal for natural fabrics and it's easy to fix! In the first of this series, Sam shows us 3 ways to fix a snag in your MINNA textiles. All you’ll need to start is the following:

• snips or scissors
• yarn size needle

Fix a snag by threading

If you have a long strand that cannot be clipped, you can attempt to weave it back in. 

Step 1: Use a yarn size needle and go in and out into the threads where the long strand came out of. 

Step 2: Pass the loose thread through the eye of the needle and give it a pull.

Step 3: Make sure to give it a tug at the end and it should match up nicely!  

Fix a snag by snipping

If you have a loose thread that is tightly woven into the fabric, it's an even easier fix!

Step 1: Grab your snips or shears and snip the thread right at the base. 

Step 2: Give it a little tug and it's gone! 

Fix a snag by pulling

You know the one. A pet's nail or your own nail has made the fabric bunch up. But, nothing a quick pull can't fix!

Step 1: Grab the opposite ends of the fabric where the snag is located at. 

Step 2: Gently pull. You'll see the thread slowly settling back into place. 

Step 3: Relax! Your Throw or Blanket is now back to looking like new. ♥
