Section 5, Preliminary, Sample 10

Necklace made with Tossing Wrap Knot

Note:  To tie the knot is confusing.  Cord needs to be balanced and dense.   Texture would make knot disappear.  Would not recommend for handspun yarns.

Ornament made with Turk's Head Knots, Brocade Knots and traditional tassel

The tassel on this ornament is the type found historically.  Use a medium to dense chord with as little elasticity as possible.

Section 5, Preliminary, Sample 12

Necklace made with Clinging Knot and Tassel

Knot is not suitable for most handspun.  Needs very dense non-elastic cord.

This necklace exhibits a simple tassel.  This tassel was not usually used in acient times.  It is an easier tassel to tie but not very elegant.
