Just about everyone that I know has been shown how to make cording! This past week was my Needlework and Fiber Guild of Media.
This past Tuesday, I demonstrated the 2 color candy cane, Herringbone, and 4 color candy cane methods described in the instructions. Sally brought enough thread to cord a tree (like a ‘yarn bomb’ – google it if you’re not familiar with the term). I’d love to see a yarn bomb in person. Anyway, . . .
In preparation for the evening, I had to practice the 4 color method. Between Bill, a table, and tape I got it done. It’s too complicated to do routinely and 2 colors are fine. But, we had a nice turn out at the meeting and 4 other people had cord makers. So we broke into groups and practiced.
Prices of the Kreinik Custom Corder vary at different sites online so shop around. Or, you can put a pencil at one end and hand twist the pencil. You can also use a hand drill.
I’ve gathered quite a selection of samples of cording.
