  4. Harvested daylily foliage. Drying them underneath our deck. I'm going to be using them to make natural cordage, in Autumn & Winter months. I'll be harvesting more foliage, for natural cordage & weaving practice 💚✌️

  9. Did you ever try to peel a really green banana? And then the peel broke apart and there were all these fibres inside? And then you thought “I bet I could twine cordage out of that?” Yeah, me, neither. 😳 #fiber #twining #cordage

  10. A friend sent me a link to this video after we discussed making cordage over dinner the other day. (What else would one talk about while having dinner?!)

    Traditional #Hemp #RopeMaking: Ancient Fiber Craftsmanship

    ""Twisting history into strength—witness the transformation of raw fibers into durable cords through timeless techniques."

    "This process showcases traditional rope making methods still practiced by master craftsmen:

    - Fiber Preparation - Retting and beating hemp stalks
    - Hand Spinning - Creating yarn with thigh-rolling technique
    - Strand Twisting - Three-ply reverse winding
    - Laying Operation - Using a walking wheel
    - Finishing - Beeswax coating for weatherproofing

    Material Specifications:
    ✔ Fiber Type: Cannabis sativa hemp
    ✔ Stalk Length: 2-3 meters
    ✔ Yarn Diameter: 3-5mm
    ✔ Rope Diameter: 12-15mm
    ✔ Tensile Strength: 500kg

    Tool Inventory:
    - Hand carders
    - Spinning hooks
    - Wooden tension frame
    - Pitch-coated gloves
    - Hemp brake tool

    Key Process Metrics:
    ▶ Fiber soaking: 7-10 days
    ▶ Daily output: 15 meters
    ▶ Twist rate: 8 turns per foot
    ▶ Drying time: 3 sunny days
    ▶ Shelf life: 20+ years

    Structural Advantages:
    - Natural mold resistance
    - UV degradation protection
    - Progressive failure warning
    - Knot-holding capability
    - Marine environment suitability

    "This living heritage represents sustainable material science perfected over millennia of human ingenuity."

  15. Turning invasive nut sedges into fibers for #weaving and #cordage mostly because my mower is broken and I can't mow them down. 😭 Lemons=Lemonade or whatever. The #fiber is lovely and strong, ngl.

  20. Dabbling in #cordage
    Commonly used cordyline (ti leaf) and trying out some false cardamom leaves. False cardamom is in the ginger family. I have lots of different kinds of ginger, so if this dries nicely and is strong enough for crafts or even gentle use, it will be great! #crafting #plants #fiber #feral #today #primitiveskills #weaving

    Weaved #willow, tree bark #cordage, #raccoon vertebrae, twined #grass, #hagstones, and a fish jaw #bone.

  28. Here's a couple of weeks of idle hand-twisted cordage. Two-ply twist using Aotearoa New Zealand flax¹.

    Axe for scale.

  33. One project partially completed. The handles and ribs are wisteria; the cordage is a mixture of day lily, gladiolus, and yellow flag iris leaves. The yarn is some wool/alpaca blend that I spun and dyed with sandalwood.

  34. Day 5 and May.

    Tried my hand at making cordage out of stinging nettles. Worked quite well and had enough to make a band for my hat.

    Also started making squares for yet another blanket. I always start with the intention of it being a super king sized one, but it quickly shrinks to double, then single, then small lap blanket!

  43. Getting in just under the line (in my time zone) for #ArtJanuaryCalendar, day 1 (Happy New Year!)

    These are some samples of cordage made from foraged plant materials. Honestly I forget what plants they are — I think the left and upper right might be dandelion stems, and the lower right might be Lomandra (a common Australian native grass that’s endemic to our region.)

  48. This year, mostly out of bloody-mindedness, I’ve been using ancient #craft techniques on #plastic dross from modern living. My garland is red #straws cut into short lengths and strung on yarn. Today, I started making 2-ply #cordage out of plastic shopping bags, and I started weaving a basket with a drinking straw base.
