flying_dutchman2 Posted November 17, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) So I took the plunge and purchased Gutermann Mara 120, 100, 70, and 30 in the colors in Hemp (854) and Pine tar (696) at a cost of around $3.00 each, totalling about $33.00. I love the colors. Because this is the first time I am making rope I wasn't going to purchase the biggest spools. I need to fine tune my ropewalk and then I'll given it a try. I have a spool of cotton thread which I bought several years ago and it makes nice rope.
