FINISHING OFF FLAT TINSEL 125

 manipulation necessary for oval tinsel. Always

 to the right to tie the tail, and two turns to the left to tie 

 in the ribbing, leaving a space to be occupied by an 

 additional turn of silk over the tinsel and by the first 

 turn of the fur-dubbed silk for the body.
