THANK YOU!!!! I'm making hot air balloon and need small rope. My wife has tons of yarn and now thanks to you I don't need to go shopping at the craft store!!😊

[@WyldePlumb]

So glad this was helpful for you! would love to see a photo when you finish!

[@Jen.O]

Thanks for the valuable tutorial--I've done this in the past but couldn't exactly recall the process. The basic concept of this technique far exceeds finger twisting each yarn to get a twine which is slow and hard on the hands.

[@dianamay8600]

This would be lovely for a drawstring bag

[@WyldePlumb]

Have used them for exactly that!

[@mjspad]

That looked like magic 😮

[@WyldePlumb]

It kind of feels like it too!

[@Sunn777]

Love it!

[@WyldePlumb]

They're surprisingly fun to make!

THANKS

[@felabor7865]

A very nice rope

[@CraftsByKelso]

So cute! 😍😍

[@WyldePlumb]

There's something so satisfying about these, isn't there?

[@tsgrandma9837]

A thought occurred to me as I was watching this video. I wonder if you could use a hand mixer with a kneading beater on low speed to twist the yarn instead your finger. The hook on the kneading beater would hold the yarn in place and it would save your finger not to mention your wrist. Just a thought.

[@Jen.O]

I think I've seen a drill used to twist the yarns.

Thanks!

[@hiccup7457]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@lisaklozenberg6408]

Most people use a door handle to put the one end on prior to twisting? I think the finger method could hurt and cause some issues in people with problems with their hands, as I have. Nice results though 😊

[@francisgill1929]

thank u, I guess u can also use an unsharpened pencil or wooden dowel

[@WyldePlumb]

Good ideas!

[@esthermalepa5084]

So easy and nice 👍🏿

[@tsgrandma9837]

I make 3 yarn strand baskets with a very tight stitch in order to make them stiffer. Wonder if this yarn rope would work better to get that stiffness without having to pull so tight? Have you ever used it to make baskets with?

[@WyldePlumb]

I have not tried making baskets with it. That sounds interesting!

[@CraftsByKelso]

Cut off the circulation in your finger lol 😆

[@WyldePlumb]

:)

[@JazzyUrquoise]

How can we make it very long for macramé or knitting so we have to attach them together?

[@WyldePlumb]

That's a tough one. You have to start with yarn that's about 2-1/2 times longer than you want the finished rope to be.

[@StephRenee812]

Or use a a drill wrap the other around your door knob..

[@WyldePlumb]

Great idea!

[@tsgrandma9837]

Or a hand mixer with a kneading beater on low speed.

[@kathybray7156]

Make a yarn rooe❤

[@courtyarddaydream2688]

could you have placed a pencil where the finger is and twist.

[@WyldePlumb]

Yes, you certainly could. And that's probably more sensible!

[@rhawniegonzales7568]

power drill.

[@myawells9998]

It came un done

[@quartzycrystal9337]

the first one should be rotated clockwise, and when ur put it all together, spin it anti-clockwise.

[@Sunn777]

Love it!

[@WyldePlumb]

These are really fun to make!
