NilleViking - Pleating in wool. First you sew with a very strong yarn. Then you tie it hard and then you steam it over boiling water for 3 hours. Now you can take out the yarn and the pleating will stay fine :-) BUT it is much easier to put in the pleatingtreads when you are weaving the fabric. I'm convinced the vikings did it that way :-) | Facebook
