red white black basket weave rope cuff bracelet 3207

 Nice high contrast bold colored cotton cord assembled in a simple plain weave pattern over a black polyester weft cord.

The red and white cotton cord is a 3 mm soft braided cover cord. The edges have three-pass white cable cord which being slightly smaller diameter creates a tapering effect.

 The weave is slightly stretchable from the 7 7/8" (200 mm) inside circumference size. Loose ends are buried inside the weave and tied off with nylon thread.

ombre dip dyed cord made into a turks head knot rope bracelet 3212

 The interesting thing about this design is the cord which was loosely coiled then dip dyed in a blue dye bath then the cord was dip dyed in a grey dye bath and allowed to dry. The overlapping color creates the transition.

The cord was then used to construct a traditional three part sailor bracelet. The areas where the cord was fully immersed in the blue are laid up right next to the grey areas giving this classic design a lively variegated color effect

 The cord is a #48 cotton which is a relaxed or loosely laid up product of my local hardware store. It has a light grey toned color right out of the ball so the blue dye comes out a bit more pastel in tone while the grey just looks completely natural.

Built as a sample this is a "small" size (14 part) but the cord can stretch making this a great all purpose bracelet.
