I'm relatively new to alpha's, but found out that if you use more than two colours (base and main string) the back gets ugly with strings going diagonally accross the back 🙈 .Is there a trick or technique to prevent this? Braiding in different colours or so? Thnx!! |

There is no way to avoid ugly alpha backs. If it bothers you you could sew on a piece of fabric to cover the strings

you can cover it with a piece of felt to cover the back 🙂

If it is only two colors, you can make one color the base strings and use a technique where you knot with the base strings (I’m pretty sure there’s a tutorial in the tutorials section that has all the ways to do alphas and includes this) hope that helps!

you can stitch fabric on to the back bit its not necessary all alpha backs look bad.

I mean you can cut the strings after each colour switch but that’s a bit annoying I think
