    Crochet thread

    Right now I am working with #10 crochet thread. Can anyone tell me what the secret is to hiding the ends?

    I am working on a doily and the ends are very hard to hide.

    Hello,

    We do have a few members who crochet doilies regularly. When they log in I am sure they can give you some tips. Please be patient - thanks.

    I take a fairly thin needle and weave the ends into the design when I work with thread! I make doll clothes with thread though, it might be different with doilies!

    Yes, I usually crochet over my ends....sometimes I weave them in as well...both work for me.

    I tend to use a very fine needle and work the thread ends in the same manner as I do with the yarn. I weave the end through the piece a number of times to fasten it and then clip it close.
