In weaving, how do you bind it off so that it can't all be pulled off the warp threads? I've tried just knotting the warp together in pairs and tying the end of the weft to the end knot, but I'm sure there's a tidier way of doing it. Thanks!

Depends what you're weaving and the finish you want. One way is to use the same thread you use for the warp to weave another 1in or so, then fold, tuck under, and stitch the end. (Like towels).Or, examine the frills on the end of a woollen scarf where half-a-dozen threads are tied together.
For learning about weaving techniques, have a look on Ebay under 'weaving book'. Good luck!
