It's so neat that you have your own tool to hold the ends and spin them! Nice demo thanks.
-
Did you buy the cord maker or did you make it yourself? I would like to try this some day soon!?! Thanks for posting this video Joseph T (fly2000jtb)

am i correct in assuming that the individual threads are twisted one way and the whole group plied the other as in wool spinning/plying?

The initial overtwist is 15%. When doing the overtwist, is there a %age for that too or is it a visual decision? Do you have a 2nd set of % marks on your table for overtwist %age? Or can you IO to 15% then OT to 20%,for instance?
Thanks for a super demo!

Cordmaking consists of two steps: Initial Overtwist (IOT) and Controlled Countertwist (CCT). You can determine the amount of IOT, as a percentage of the length between cordmaker and outend. It depends on how tight you want the cords. Overtwist to the desired percentage (add energy), and then contertwist (remove energy). Detailed written instructions for cordmaking are on the Instructions page of my web site.

Yes -- there are two stages to making a cord -- initial overtwist, and then countertwist. It is essentially the same as spinning yarn, and then plying it. For cordmaking the initial overtwist is generally much greater than in spinning.
Please see my article, "Ply-Splitting for Wrist Distaffs: Something New to do with your Handspun", Spin-Off, Summer 2005, p. 50-57.
