The rule of three

Aha! I've found new hope for my handprocessed rope!

The lovely folks at Erotic Hemp detail their 7-stage rope processing in a FAQ on their web site. (Frankly such transparency is unlikely to lose them business. It takes a stubborn rigger to process rope on one's own - trust me!)

Their stages are different than the stages I picked up from Bridgett Harrington and detailed in an earlier post. But I think the real difference is that they go through their full seven stages three times. Aha! Yes, I can see how that might get me there. I'd already been pondering doing a 2d pass on my handmade ropes to further refine them; it's nice to know that may just be part of the process.
