I've been cutting wool into long strips
for rug hooking...
~ Purple shades for pansies ~
But, I'm also wanting to experiment...
I recently came across a great little gizmo
that makes cords...
(Kreinik isn't the only company that makes these.
If you go to Amazon and search 'cord maker',
it will give you several options available.)
Lovely cord made from three long wool strips
I love the idea of using all kinds of threads,
yarns and fibers, to make cords for finishing projects.
Depending on what fiber you use,
these cords can be used to hang projects
or trim the edges of a project, as well as...
hmmm, my mind is churning.

Thanks for the info! One more gadget I probably must have...lol!
ReplyDeleteJust a dusting of snow here, too. Bring on daylight savings time and spring...please, please, please!
Neato! I'm going to have to add that to my sewing basket! :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have someone handy to hold one end of the wool/fiber strips while you use the corder to twist them, place a screw hook in a small piece of 2 X 4 that you then place in a bench vise. Knot the strips together and slip onto the screw hook. Now knot the other end of the strips together and slip onto the hook attached to the corder. Stand with strips taught and twist away.
ReplyDeleteSuch a yummy purple color both Wool and cording.
ReplyDeleteAlways like the look of bias cording on Pillows
And Small Projects. I Really Like the twisted
Look.
Thanks Rose, II just bought one from Amazon. Looking forward to the strawberry design.
