Small achievement

Did you just twist two together or did you braid them?

I'm sure braiding them would add more strength. =)

The two bundles of fibre are twisted on their own, then twisted around each other.
They could be plaited as an alternative, but I don't know if it would be stronger from the same number of strands. The joints are made by folding the previous bundle over to form a loop, then the next bundle is put through and made into another loop. This is my own idea, the normal method is just to twist the fibres together, but the stems were fresh and too slippery.

If braided right, even tissue (fibres as well) can support tens of kilograms.

Any more info on how?

[Esmond]

You know how they braid hair Well, you start off with three strands and you braid them neatly and tightly. Make three of these and then you braid these three to form a thicker rope.

You should try that. Although it'd be slightly thicker than what you now have, it'd be significantly stronger.

I'm not experienced but that doesn't look half bad, it's certainly looking like cord.

Also, you got the national sport wrong, Key'íl. It's complaining about football, football itself takes a firm 2nd place.

Ah good point!
Ulte irayo!

[Esmond]

So Key'ìl, did you try that out? =)

I've made a plait with three bundles of yucca fibre, but I don't have a reliable way to test the strength compared to normal cord. The main weak points in both are where the fibres have to be attached to the next pieces. The better folding method should help with this, and a plait will give a backup joint, so it probably is the stronger method.
