Wash your hands. Begin to lay a cord by twisting eachof the three waxed ends to the RIGHT. As you twist, bringone strand up and over to the left, the next down and underto the left. After a short time you will note a three lay ropewith a LEFT hand twist take form. Keep this up until thetwisted section is 21/2 inches long. Measure it. It will requiresome patience before you get the knack of laying this cord.There will now be 41/4 inches of each of three waxed endsexposed. See Fig. 44. Remove from vise, straighten out the ends by removing
any twist beyond the end of the lay. Form the lay into a loopand match the three ends with the three sections of the mainstrands. Fig. 45. Make a preliminary twist of each of thesestrands to the right. Fold paper over the loop and put backin the vise. The three long, primary skeins now face theoperator and fall to the floor. Fig. 46. |
