"Let the weft* rest upon the last end."–i.e., Finish your work. Do what you have to do thoroughly. (Explanation from Moore's 'Folklore', proverb found in Cregeen s.v. innagh)

*'Warp and weft are terms for the two basic components used in weaving to turn thread or yarn into fabric. The lengthwise or longitudinal warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a frame or loom while the transverse weft (sometimes woof) is drawn through and inserted over-and-under the warp.' (Wikipedia)
