Here's a typical 3 part weave #607
Other designs can be made with this material as well. It comes off the spool with a "set" that must be aligned with the piece to avoid kinks and twists. A very small weaving fid helps to thread the doubled and tripled passes.
The material is stretchable so these pieces can fit a lot of different people who may have a big hands and skinny wrists.
Silicone is waterproof and chemically inert. The texture is similar to a leather cord but smoother. I warms to your skin temperature rapidly.
This particular color is a dark purple which looks black in dim light. Workability is fair. The cord is very slippery until it gets worked up into a tight crossing pattern then it must be drawn through the weave carefully. Fortunately it is also quite strong enabling the knot to be tripled and worked even.
