basket weave rope cuff desert tan and ecru double weave 3202

 All cotton materials warp cords are hand dyed a light desert tan and interwoven with natural ecru white cord.

This design has 20 loops creating a 39 crossing count per circumference (there is an offset of one to keep the weave going) Each warp cord follows an over-two under-two pattern. Only two of the three crossing patterns are populated with cord.

 You can see the characteristic spiral pattern on the inside of this view. The two colors are very close so the effect is less pronounced. The un-populated crossing pattern reveals the weft cord.

Made on  10 1/2" mold this slip on cuff has been worked up to a smaller 8" (203 mm) inside circumference



              only one available here

tan and sand double thickness basket weave rope bracelet cuff 3201

 This cuff turned out to be a bit larger measuring about 8" inside circumference but it seems much bigger due to the double weave construction. The opposing loops give this slip on bracelet a nice thickness. It's quite lightweight made from natural and hand dyed cotton cord.

 Here you can see the three colors in offset loops that set up the characteristic spiral pattern common to all the double weave designs. To get the spiral expressed all three of the offsetting loops must be placed or else the definition is lost.

The other innovation here is all the loose ends are turned 90 degrees and buried in the weave. Makes one of the overpassing loops a bit wider than the others but avoids all the tie-offs necessary when the loose ends are terminated at random points.

This one measures a full 2 5/8" (69 mm) wide so it really is a big wide cuff.
