more string!

I finshed all of the barley straw, it was easy to use. I did give up on the oats straw (smaller ball on the floor) as the shorter lengths of straw made it harder to twist to hold it together. I did make a small ball though!! The rest of the straw I will give to my mother for her hens!

The oats straw is more of a golden yellow colour.

And here's a great book if you want to know more about making simmans (rope).

Here's another interesting image, click here to see making rope from heather. This is what I will look like in a few years!
