Ma'am, you would not believe the kinds of videos that I have watched explaining how to do this. Thank you, this is the best!

Excellent tutorial, thank you.

Thank you so much...I couldn't find the cord clour I required and then came across ur video...now dont have to go searching for cords anymore 😊💕

[@DianaStitching]

Great video, simple, straight-forward and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@naomitalbott5709]

My son came up with using a hand drill to spin/twist the yarn. SOOO much easier and faster. Your video was very easy to follow.

2:05 If i make a long one that goes up the stairs and out the back door, how can i fold it in half and make it springy like this part?

[@voidremoved]

never mind. My dog sat there on the end until i called him

[@Jade-tq4kq]

How do you determine how many strands to use?

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

Hi, The number of strands you use will depend on how thick you want the cord to be. Cheers, Ashley

[@emmaaye2620]

How do I get thinner cord

[@NationalQuiltersCircle]

The thinner the yarn you use, the thinner the cord will become. Thank you!

[@sexy59red]

i noticed there was only one knot at one end. how do you get a knot at each end?

[@sandrachase68]

You knot each end before you twist. The two ends are put together and the whole thing twists on itself. Then you knot the one end with the two original ends.

[@veliaantila1099]

You were not paying attention.

[@The_Runaway_Girl]

Presumably you just tie a knot at the other end then cut the bend loop open.
