I’ve got it! It took me a week of annoying my husband stretching cord all throughout the house but I finally got the hand of making rope. The projects I have been working on this week are all for sale. See our Shop for what is available.
Next thing on the list is to dig through all my alpaca 2nd and 3rds in the basement and start spinning them into cord to be made into rope.
I’m so close to having the “ah ha” moment and it’s killing me. Check out these photos. Beautifully twisted rope made out of alpaca and I did a core color of Blue so I could see what that devil was up to. Sure enough that lousy core keeps getting caught up into my twist.
I think I need a lot more tension on my core to keep it from twisting up into the rope. Now the question is how to do that without an expensive rope machine or a staff of 3 men!
