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...
