I have a couple pashminas that have twisted fringe that's much better behaved.<br /> Would have to go back in time more than 12 years to do in front of TV though :)<br /> Remember those Barbies that had the twisty curl machine, you could use it on your own hair too? That little machine could come in handy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2234101 Mon, 25 Oct 2021 20:01:58 +0000 approprio 2234101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may have a solution for you. I have done this with fringed scarves in the past, and it works like a charm, but it can take a while. A job to do in front of the TV, then.&nbsp;</p> <p>Divide a single tassel into two equal strands. Twist each strand tightly along its length, then twist the two strands together and tie a knot at the end. Each tassel then becomes a sort of string, and the fringe is much tidier.</p> <p>If this makes no sense, I will try to explain further tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2234087 Mon, 25 Oct 2021 18:44:29 +0000 Anonymous 2234087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! Maybe I'll try to comb and iron it and see how that works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233842 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 01:07:51 +0000 Jaime 2233842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, I would just cut it off, or beg DD to fix it for me (she is very good with that sort of thing). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233826 Sun, 24 Oct 2021 00:14:32 +0000 Sloper 2233826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The look of it doesn't bother me - I guess I expect this appearance from a fine fringe.</p> <p>But maybe you could try a very fine-toothed comb - like a lice comb.&nbsp; And then iron between towels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233801 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 21:49:58 +0000 Anonymous 2233801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could use a damp clean dish cloth between the fringe and the iron. I usually leave it alone or send the scarf to the dry cleaners. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233797 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 21:23:52 +0000 lozz_oz 2233797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have used a comb to untangle and smooth out fringe. I generally cut it off or unknot it (if possible) and remove it totally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233725 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 17:01:30 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2233725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That tonal match is pretty awesome, but is the fringe itself that special? It looks to me like the kind that’s easily available. Maybe you could have it switched out for new (and get fabric content /care instructions on the new) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233724 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 16:57:01 +0000 Anonymous 2233724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually don't know how this happened. I have ruined fringe before by washing, but I didn't this time. It's just been in my cedar chest. I don't want to cut the fringe if I'm able to make it look nicer, but usually that's what I've done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233710 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:38:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2233710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh, now I see the fringe. Please don’t cut it! Those colors are wonderful together. I want to see the rest of the scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233709 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:33:33 +0000 Angie 2233709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have cut the fringe off scarves a few times - just below the knot - and it worked well. If that is of interest? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233702 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 14:03:54 +0000 Katerina 2233702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great question, Suntiger. I have a similar scarf in black. The material is viscose but I have no idea what the fringe is made of. No info on the label. It was a gift. I am following this thread with interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233700 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:52:02 +0000 Indigoprint 2233700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have used a fine tooth comb, separating fringe by knot,&nbsp; starting at the bottom of the fringe then working up. Putzy work but rewarding for such a beautiful scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233696 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:40:52 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2233696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What does just washing/thoroughly wetting and then hang drying it do?<br /> The pic isn’t showing up, but orange velvet sounds like a great thing for you to wear with your burgundies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233693 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:24:22 +0000 kkards 2233693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On the couple of occasions when the fringe has gotten out of hand (I don’t mind it a little tangled) i just cut it off…<br />i would try to steam it. Or iron it under a damp towel&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233689 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:11:50 +0000 Anonymous 2233689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! Normally I don't buy fringe, but got this scarf at one of the Faire shops several years ago. Couldn't resist orange velvet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233687 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:06:52 +0000 cat2 2233687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might try barely moistening one strand, untangling it with your fingers, and then smoothing it out to dry. It’s a PIA, though. and now I have No Fringe on my shopping list. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233686 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 13:05:11 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2233686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have ironed fringe before. You just have to treat it according to what the fiber content is. Start with the lowest heat and work up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233684 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 12:58:52 +0000 Tanya 2233684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried with fringe on ballroom dancing costumes, with mixed results. Steam is pretty gentle on the materials, and results would depend on whatever the materials are, some relax faster than the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/straightening-fringe#post-2233681 Sat, 23 Oct 2021 12:51:27 +0000 Anonymous 2233681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fringe is another one of those things I have a love hate relationship with. It gets to looking bad so quickly, and I often just end up removing it. </p> <p>I love this scarf, but not sure if the velvet is silk or poly, so afraid to take chances melting it with the flat iron. Haven't tried my clothes iron, but that would probably be safer.<br /> Has anyone tried to straighten fringe? Results? </p>
