asemery Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Oooo... where's the Like button? Is there a tutorial for this to make it? It is a standard lanyard or diamond knot. Here is one tutorial. A Google search will show many others http://www.animatedknots.com/lanyard/#ScrollPoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Brand Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I imagine hemp would be too flexible and loose as a brush, but is there anything apart from manilla that would work well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asemery Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I imagine hemp would be too flexible and loose as a brush, but is there anything apart from manilla that would work well? Polyester rope would make a nice stiff brush. I have seen cotton rope used to make a nice dish washing swab. Perhaps a soft hemp would do as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
