Tips and instructions for weaving in your loose wool ends:
Thread a wool needle with the loose wool end.
Insert the needle up into the back (if it is stocking stitch, this will be the purl slide) of two to three stitches, then loop back around and insert down through another two to three stitches.
If you have space, repeat this process a few times.
Cut the loose end very close to your work.
