Details of these knots are below.

     Even though this silk thread is suitable for some knotting projects, it needs to be bulked up for others.   If it is to be used to enhance a woven piece that is also warp or weft--built it up so it will show.
     The thread was Navajo 3-plied then folded to make a balanced 6-ply.  This is a quick efficient way to make an excellent knotting cord.
     Can be used for fabric embellishments, jewelry and ornaments.
