Fringe (trim)

Fringe (trim)

Fringe is an ornamental textile trim applied to an edge of an items, such as drapery, a flag, epaulettes, or decorative tassel.

Fringe originates in the ends of the warp, projecting beyond the woven fabric. More commonly it is made separately and sewn on, consisting sometimes of projecting ends, twisted or plaited together, and sometimes of loose threads of wool, silk, or linen, or narrow strips of leather.
