This is her explanation - "This afternoon I have been taking my 'fankle' apart, bit by bit. A fankle is what Scottish needleworkers call a snarly mess. Until I met people who do large, counted thread pictures and kept their flosses in controlled assortments, I thought that everyone's embroidery threads were in a fankle." Some days I feel as though my quilting is in a fankle. Get the book. You will love it! Thanks everyone for guessing! You asked what a "fangle" was. Not what a "fankle" was. That kind of makes it hard to get the correct meaning. |

In your original message you spelled the word 'fangle' in this message you spelled it 'fankle'. Now which is the correct spelling?

There is new-fangled and in my book, there is fandangled and don't ask me what that means because the use of it escapes me at the present time.

Could a fangle be another word for the stoppy starty thingy?
|
New word to me.
|
Definitely a new word, along with the others, to add to my quilting vocabulary!
