Making cord
I've made cord before usually for bag handles and such like. I gathered together wool of various sorts and made some more.
 |
Four strands of chunky knitting wool gave a thin cord that could be couched on to fabric
|
 |
| Four strands of the same chunky wool twisted once then repeated was much heftier and suitable for a bag handle |
 |
| Three strands of chunky wool in various purple tones was quite chunky and the colours looked good |
 |
| Six strands 2 ply (pink is wool, pale pink is cotton). The mix worked well. The different yarn made no difference to the way it twisted |
 |
| Four strands boucle alpaca loosely twisted. Insubstantial and just so pretty |
 |
Three strands of embroidery silk in 3 different colours. Once again the variation in colour is attractive. It makes a fine silky cord.
|
 |
| Three strands of different novelty yarns looks very ethnic |
 |
Two strands of sari silk is very robust
