Finish with a Damascus Edge | Weaving Tutorial

How to finish a handwoven item with a "Damascus edge." As far as I can tell, that term was coined by Peter Collingwood in The Techniques of Rug Weaving (1968). It works best for weft-faced weaves with a wide warp sett.
The warp for the mug rug in this video is doubled 8/4 cotton carpet warp, meaning that two warp threads are treated as one.

Now that I know it is called damascus edge I will definitely be doing that with my mini tapestry weaving

This is neat. Can you add more fridge for decoration, still using this technique?

[@wildgingerhandweaving4171]

Yes, absolutely! This technique makes a firm knotted edge to secure the weft, leaving you free to do whatever you want with a decorative fringe.
