However one of the cuffs is losing its finished edge and looks like it could start ravelling. It’s just a regular ribbed cuff all in one color. The knit isn’t bulky - probably slightly larger than the knit of a nice cashmere sweater - each “V” of the knit is about 2mm wide.
What are my options to save this sweater? Should I have the ends of the cuffs serged? I don’t love this idea cause it wouldn’t be so pretty. I thought about getting a pretty ribbon - maybe velvet, and having it sewn around the end of the cuff, but would that keep it from ravelling right through? What other options are there?
