Nice sling, Masiakasaurus.
Do you got a special reason to use the manchega hold, or is it
just because I have this roll of
too thin flax cord, but wanted to try a flax sling anyway. So I made this one with a 5-strand braid with ten strand, hoping to increase the thickness over a standard 3-strander with six. It did remain thinner than I expected, but it`s still a very nice sling, wich work nicely.
I got some issues with the 5-strand braid. When each strand is made up from 4 thin cords, one sneaky cord can suddenly be in the strand next to it, so keeping control is important. With this braid I also I find it a bit tricky to make the start of the split, and especially the reconnection of the two halves. It`s easy to have them, at least on one side, appearing to be one atop the other instead of coming perfectly in from the sides. I was fumbling on and off for
three days until I got this the way I wanted it (obsessed with details, or what...
).
