Step 1: Identify the row of knots that will become the new bottom edge. The fringe of the thatch will extend 6'-9' below the new row of knots that you choose.
Step 2: Lift
the knot away from the loose top material in order to get a clean cut. Lift the knot far enough away for your clippers to get between the knots and the loose top material.
Step 3: Using garden clippers, position clippers just below new edge row of knots under the connecting pieces of thatch to the next row of knots.
Step 4: Cut! Make sure that you have the length you want and then go ahead and cut the connecting pieces. Continue this process for the entire piece of thatch. Keep the lengths consistent
