In Homer's "The Odyssey," Penelope tricks the suitors by weaving a tapestry during the day and secretly unraveling it at night. This clever ruse allows her to delay choosing a new husband while she hopes for Odysseus's return. When the suitors discover her deception after several years, it highlights her intelligence and loyalty to Odysseus. This act of cunning showcases her resourcefulness in the face of pressure from the suitors.
It was Penelope
Antinous is the leader of the suitors of Penelope, as he is the richest, and the most outspoken. Eurymachus is the next most reknowned of the suitors, and is well known for his command of the language.
She said she would marry one of them once she had woven the shroud, but at night she unravelled part of it.
The suitors wan't Penelope to marry them and they will play games to win her over such as: darts, fights, last longest under water, etc.
Penelope told the suitors that she would weave a tapestry, and once she was finished, she would marry one of the suitors. Penelope weaved during the day, but secretly undid her work at night.

Wife
I think you may be referring to when Penelope tells the suitors that she will make a decision to marry one of them after she is done weaving a web of yarn. However, she was just misleading them; she untangles the work done every night for a year (I think so, that is just an estimate). However, a maid who was aware of this outs this to the suitors. When the suitors are made aware of this, they are outraged and force her to finish weaving.
She said she would marry one of them once she had woven the shroud, but at night she unravelled part of it.
While Odysseus was gone, his wife Penelope was being forced to entertain a large group of suitors who wanted to marry her. Penelope did not like any of the suitors, and only wanted Odysseus to come home to her.
Not at all. The suitors were guests of Penelope, not hosts.
I think youre referencing "the odyssey" also known as the "Iliad". Penelope (Odysseus' wife) tells her suitors that when she is done sewing a peice of cloth, she will choose a husband. to trick them, she undoes all the work she has done at the end of each day so that the cloth will technically take forever to complete.
