Re weaving in ends: I just learned a new technique colloquially called Weavin Steven, where you twist and carry the yarn behind the stitches so it gets twisted and woven into the stitches automatically. It's a bit fiddly, but I loathe weaving in ends, so this looks a pretty good solution. This is obviously only a solution when you have a right/wrong side piece.
I know what you mean (seen the video, not actually tried it). Unfortunately, this method isn't suitable for plant fibres, because they are too slippery and don't felt...
I was under the impression that the technique is to twist the tail into the stitch, and then weaves it into the stitches. I didn't see anything that says it's only for animal fiber. I'm using it on a tencel yarn right now. Seems pretty secure.
Perhaps I'm mistaken. I thought I'd read something like that somewhere...
