If you are using stalks for your fiber, choose plants that have tough, wood-like outers. Lay the dry stalks out on a flat surface. great idea to use bags, in making rope you usually twist in opposite direction once 3 strands get tight Can make a small crank type handle on the other end . Then as strands get tight use the cross to keep tight and twist the 3 strands together. Makes really strong rope and will not unravel. Our first project video of a large leather project!
