back to basics white cotton rope bracelet 904

Classic cotton rope bracelet made with a modified herringbone weave design in heavy white cotton cable cord.


The single pass weave reveals the beauty of the over-two under-two herringbone pattern. The bights are single overlaps which makes the edge of the knot more tapered.


Size is a tight 8" (203 mm) circumference.

This is about 1" (25 mm) wide with the loose ends secured and trimmed.

delicate designs made with small material

A herringbone weave design using 1.5 mm high density nylon cord.


This is a 34 bight design but due to the small diameter of the material it measures only 6 1/4" inside circumference, about the right size for a child or young teen.


This type of high tech nylon cord was found at an Eastern Mountain Sports EMS shop. Many outdoor gear suppliers offer these types of high grade nylon cords in all kinds of color combinations. This one happens to be a classic red/black mix

Here we see a typical three part common turks head weave using the 1.5 mm high density nylon cord. This one is a bit larger measuring 7" inside diameter and available here:

The flat or common weave is clearly visible in this view. 


These smaller materials create a much smaller scale weave pattern which goes well with smaller hands or for those who like a more refined look.

three sailor bracelets in copper green 702, 703, 704

A set of three classic turks head sailor bracelets made with hand dyed twisted cotton cord. The color is a copper green made by diluting the concentrated dye packet and limiting the time the cord remains immersed in the dye solution.


It's pretty amazing how much color range is available from a single colored dye packet. Even within the cord hank as it is immersed there are slight variations in color. Some areas take a bit more pigment, others less which creates a pleasing variation

The color will continue aging as the bracelet is worn. Repeated wettings can cause the color to fade even more giving the bracelet that "forever" look.


Sizing:
The small one is 14 bights, child or tween
The medium one is 17 bights, older teens and women
The large one is 20 bights, adult males and knuckle draggers (guys you know who you are...)

Each is made with three passes and worked to a firm shape. There remains some stretch in the material as the cord is naturally elastic.

These were photographed with the working ends in place although there isn't much slack to work out of the weave.


A note for the photography class: the background is actually a grey cardboard although the color in the photos appears to be light purple. White balance was set prior to the shoot with the light sources fully warmed up. (3600K CFL lamps)

The floss loops are markers that show where the center of the weave is located. This is essential for working up the bracelets in an even, symmetrical shape.
