Individual tassels are produced by laying groupsof loops of tassel tuft yarn (E) into warp stitch chains at opposite ends of the loops, an elastic material (A,B) being used for the stitch chain or chains at one end. A further yarn (D) is laid in loops extending from the elastic stitch chain or chanis and away from the tuft loops to provide a hinging loop for each group of tuft loops. The ends of the loops of the further yarn re each woven into a plurality of stitches of the or each elastic stitch chain. Severing the elastic stitch chain or chains and removal of the stitch chain at the other end of the tuft loops together with the loop bends at that end yields a series of separate tassels each with a securely attached hanging loop. The invention also includes apparatus for producing individual tassels. <IMAGE>
