Cut 12 16”/41cm strands of yarn and set aside. Cut 120 [150] strands of yarn 14”/36cm in length – Divide into 6 groups of 20 [25] strands each.

Tie each group of yarn at the middle point with one of the 16”/41cm strands. Fold each group in half, then tie another 16”/41cm strand around each folded bundle about 1.25”/3cm from the top – Continue wrapping the tails of the strand around the group 3 – 4 times.

Tie the tops of the tassels onto the 6 corners of the ruana, making sure to weave the loose ends inside the middle of each tassel. Trim tassels to 5”/13cm [6”/15cm] in length.
