Cordage is ancient and foundational. In our modern world it is hiding all around us- in the clothing that we wear and all of the activities that would not be possible without a simple length of cord. Having worked with textiles for decades, I was flabbergasted when I first learned that beautiful thread could be made with no tools other than our own hands.
