I am so blessed to say that I am safe and away from the fires. Thank you for your care and for checking in on me. ❤️
I’m getting back into making things. Something I explored recently was how to make rope. I really loved the process of making rope. It’s something I use a lot in my crafts— from kite making two tie-dying, it’s a very important material for me!
Learning about how to make it was so cool. I used a friends antique wrote making machine she found on eBay. I used hemp thread to make my rope. First, we need thread, preferably linen or hemp or jute, because those fibers are long and strong. It takes many threads to create one ply. Each ply can contain anywhere from 5 to 8 threads. And those threads get twisted together simultaneously with the two other plys, to create one uniform coil, it’s so neat!
