How did Penelope trick the suitors their demands marriage?

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.
