Weaving in ends

I’ve been experimenting with dealing with the ends of the yarn when weaving. I tried my standard way that I use for knitting and crochet, which involves running the end through the work and back again, which leaves visible traces. Then I tried splitting the yarn and weaving in sections, which gives a much nicer finish.

Yes, splitting the ends and weaving in the sections triples the times I thread a needle, but I think the end result is worth it.
