9. Begin to lay a cord by twisting these primary skeins tothe RIGHT, just as you did in step No. 7. You will soonsee another rope with a left hand twist take form. Twist theseskeins very tightly at first, twisting to the RIGHT and layingthe cord to the left. You will note the lay taking form and diminishing in diameter; this taper is resulting from the ab-sorption of the tapered waxed points (as shown in Fig. 47)into the general lay. As the taper of the general lay diminishesin size, relax the tension of the twist slightly. Run the long,primary skeins through the right hand, occasionally, to preventtangling. Stop operations when this general lay has progressed |
