 Tassel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In this craft, a tassel is primarily an ornament, and was, of course, at first the casual termination of a cord to prevent unraveling as its ends which were tied in knots with the remainder of the cord hanging as shreds of it.
As time went on, various peoples developed greater or lesser variations of this, until by the time of 16th century France, there was constituted the first Guild of Passementiers who formulated and documented the art of passementerie (pronounced: pahs/mahn/TREE).
This art form had the Tassel as its primary expression, but also included Fringes (applied as opposed to integral), Ornamental Cords, Galloons, Pompons, Rosettes, and Gimps as other forms.

Welch's book was originally to be a total survey of global passementeries (fiber trimmings), as opposed to mere casual tassels found everywhere, but her publisher constrained her to a virtual global tour for these fiber (and non-fiber!) delights.
