This is three-ply cotton rope from the hardware store, untwisted and knit with poles. This is before dyeing, I plan to try some home marling techniques by dyeing each of the three strands a slightly different color to give it a finer variegated technique. Maybe then experimenting with over-dyeing and bleach effects...
This started out being an easier process, and definitely yielded a larger chunk in the end. (Approximately 9 inches across and 18 inches long, made from 40 feet of rope). However, the unraveling of the rope took quite a bit of time, about 2 1/2 hours. In the case of the body scarf, I would try to order a large quantity online, unraveled.
I really like this one.
This is the kind of chunky-ness I wanted. I'm leaving town early tomorrow morning and won't be back until Wednesday afternoon, but will start dyeing the scales and rope then to see what color will do for this situation.
