blue green double weave rope bracelet cuff 3200

Three mm white cotton cord is laid out on a mold then interwoven with three separate hand dyed colors.

The weave is a simple right angle pattern passing over two then under two. Each color is offset one step.

Cords are tensioned around the mold to an even but not tight shape.

 The offset of one step per color creates the subtle spiral pattern composed of the three color combination.

The white weft cords are gently drawn up to make the edges of the bracelet even. Loose ends are stitched with waxed nylon thread and trimmed off.

new year new ideas new weave designs new color combinations new...

A pile of slip-on style cuffs made with a new (actually old but new to me...) technique out of bits of cord. As you can see there is an endless variety of possible color combinations, weave patterns, and sizes. I started out experimenting with simple plain weave patterns then tried some double over-under designs. Cords used include single color and dip-dyed color gradients to achieve interesting blends.

More details and photos of individual pieces will be posted soon.
