Thank you so much. I’ve just harvested my 1st cattails in the uk and I had no idea I’d be able to make cordage from them. Love the visible mend on your knee 🤩

Do you have a video on how do this by sewing by hand? Don't have a sewing machine.

Very interesting thank you 😊 ❤❤❤

How do you join the strips to make several feet of twine???

Thx you made it easier to make the paper chains ⛓️‍💥 ❤❤❤

Did you ever make a video showing how to add on length?

ok a very great idea indeed but if I wanted to add more to the length, how do you attach it to another long strand then?

Can you use the rest of the leaf for anything?

Thank you so much for this ! This is been a problem for me for years. Have a good day.

Suppperrr helpful, thank you!!

I think I'm going to do this because I don't like dealing with the knots either. But I'm going to cut the strips a little bit thicker because I'm making mats for the homeless

How do you add in? I don't see a second video. Thank you

thank you so much ❤

One of the most important health benefits of cattail is its natural antiseptic property, which has come in handy for various cultures for generations. The jelly-like substance that you can find between young leaves can be used on wounds and other areas of the body where foreign agents, pathogens, or microbes might do damage in order to protect our system. This same jelly from the cattail plant is known as a powerful analgesic and can be ingested or applied topically to relieve pain and inflammation. It is also used for toothache pain straight from the plant. I am curious one thing that I rarely ever see is the use of corn stalk and green brier and willow and wisteria for cordage. I am curious if you have ever hear of bobbin lace making? I was curious if this method could help you in some way?

This is so cool! I've made cordage from the main part of cattails by basically shredding the main leaves into strips after drying, but was a little dissatisfied with the limited flexibility and weak strength. Doing some research on how to utilize them better and im glad I found your video! Looking forward to trying this later when the cattails are seeding!

thankss

I haven't installed my 5" extruder yet, but your information will be very helpful. I hate to clean ! 😉

Dry clear instructions. Thank you! Just installed my extruder and can’t wait to try this

Love cattails. Cordage, medical gel, edible root and pollen. I’m building a small pond just to grow them and another pond for other water plants. I make baskets but love reed roots aged then soaked as the material to bind the material together. But the cordage side of what you showed also binds baskets.

Thank you very much***

This is genius! I never thought about using plarn for clothing before! It makes *so much sense* to do the forward pass with plarn and the return pass with scrap yarn to get a cozy, water-resistant fabric! Great stash-buster and a great use of old plastic bags! 💙 (I came here to see how I should close the top of my tunisian-crochet-in-the-round flip cap mittens [the kind that flips back to be fingerless gloves --- I've already split for the flip cap, and they're working up so quickly], but I just had to stop and gush over your resourcefulness 😅)

Those are wild corn dogs!

What do you do with milk weed pods?

Good video BUT @11:51 you show the stitching you did. Was it by hand or by sewing machine. I think it would be awkward to be able to use the machine. Maybe there is a trick to that ? Oops, the description implies only hand stitching. Thank You.

you seem like a fun person to be friends with

❤❤❤❤❤Thanks So Much For Sharing This! A Must Do For My Budgies🌹🌺💞

dogbane weed and i like using milkweed and corn husk as well and tulip polar bark and bass wood bark and concord grap vine for cordage but dogbane is the best out of all the plant i have used yukka gava a close second of being the best i remember my grandfather made cordage from cat tail but not to common her in west Virginia unless your near water we don't have red cedar here but you can use them for cordage as well with birth bark great video

A mask to protect your lungs for the dust.

I really want to learn this technique from you. Your birds are wonderful. There singing is beautiful and the birds are doing what birds do. How there singing is competing with your viewers hearing you clearly. I can not understand you in your video.

U could find a better place for your video to Noisy sorry

does the plastic also make it warmer? i feel like it would

cannot see what you are doing

I loved the birds, but then they sounded very rambunctious after awhile! But they're very lively, that's for sure! I was wondering how you join this new plarn strip to the working plarn strip that's on the project, if that makes sense. Is there a special way to do this, or do you just knot it together and continue your project?

Interesting video, thanks you!

There seem to be two major ways of making a net. This way, and one using a sheet knot and a shuttle. Is there a reason you would choose one way over the other?

This is awesome to find out just how fine a cordage you can get for free! Wild stands of willow and cattails are everywhere around here making gathering these materials easy. Making this cordage is a really great crappy weather job even for old hands like mine. Thanks for the extra knowledge! Greetings from Alberta, Canada.

I'm part native american. My mother taught me this technique. I cried watching you do the same. We used our cordage while weaving baskets. I'm now a senior, but I will locate some materials and make a basket in honor of my revisiting this today. Thank you very much.

Would it be strong enough to try to fish with that cordage

Awww man! At 9:21 your video begins a high-pitched buzzing sound that continues to the end and it makes it unbearable to watch and listen! I can't finish watching the video with sound, I have to mute you and depend on subtitles...

I'm over here windering.if you can make clithing with it, and blackberry or bramble fibers. We have a LOT of blackberry, and it does make nice cordsge. I just wonder if it softens with time and use like nettles and flax do.

Oh man this is going to be awesome. All my jeans don’t have big enough pockets for my phone. I need this in my life.

Can't you just buy the grass sod?

你的香莆绳子编得非常棒👍👍但我更感兴趣的是，你裤子上的刺子绣，希望你能制作一集关于刺子绣的vlog ，因为你的针线活也相当的好。我有足够的耐心，等待你的刺子绣节目😊😊我将万分感谢!

Could you spin the fibers with a drop spindle?

BRILLIANT! I have wanted to try making plastic yarn but didn't want to deal with joining dozens of segments. Thank you for sharing this. Your advice has helped me build the confidence to give this a try.

Why dis it take two years for me to see this I need this shit

This is how I cut sheets for crocheting rugs and tote bags!! 💚🧶💚

Thank you!!!!! Been putting off making a net bag but your video was perfect amount of calm talking and chill vibes to craft along to!!! The gauge piece really helped as well! So much less frustrating than guestimating!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

New follower here! Is there some tool I can use to help me make cordage? I have hurt my thumb from cording a lot and now I have to take a break 😢
