how many times do u do this for each set??

[mnavon]

@jbeanz531 4 times per corner. You can get an exact diagram and instruction sheet on our website - just google tekhelet and go to the "Hans-On Tying Guide

should the white shamash also be a longer string or a regular length?

[mnavon]

@bjorncharlie69 Yes the white shamash needs to be longer than the other white strings. The sets come with a longer white shamash and a longer blue shamash.

Thanks for taking the time to post these videos, they're very good.

Where did you learn all these different methods?

[mnavon]

Tradition! I learned from people who learned from people.  Though I must admit that in some cases a tradition was not extant and so we (at the Ptil Tekhelet Organization) derived from our understanding from texts.

Hi, thanks for the video. I want to get Tekhellit, and G-D willing I will. I just wanted to ask if you know somebody in NY (preferable Queens) who can tie it according to the Raavad (like in this video?) I would try doing it, but I don't want to mess it up, and I'm not sure how you did the first knot (the part before the beginning if this video).

Tzitzit are so pretty with the blue thread!
