Hi, guys. I'm making a balearic sling fibers braided tutorial. I made it for my friends from
www.paleoforo.com
(pardon about publicity). I added english instructions, thinking about you. I Hope you like it. Second part coming soon.

Great tutorial,
I really like your technique to separate the initial strands from each other. I can tell you I spent hours doing this
The nail trick also is great, that can be really difficult trying to get out the tangled fibres.

A very excellent video! Thanks for making it and posting it. I've had difficulties when trying to braid like that in the past, but with your instructions, I should have another try at it.

Great tutorial. I got many hints from it, and if my roll of sisal behave like that, and end up as fibers instead of powder (yes I have experienced that) I
could
make one. I have braided many slings with 5-strand braid (mostly Chimarro slings) and I have braided slings using grass as
fiber
. I look forward to part 2.

Really good video! Thank you for the time and effort!
I recently finished a tematatl-style sling using sisal for the first time. After seeing this video, I'm definitely going to try it again.

Very cool! I'll have to try rolling the fibers more when I braid. Looking forward to the next part!

I was pretty good at slinging like 10 years ago.

Hey guys, first thank you for your kind words. I'm happy that you like.
You can see the two part tutorial here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAllExyVw6I
By the way, I'm interested in whether English texts included are understandable for a real english speaker and understood in slings.
Third and last part soon.

Thanks! I often have trouble splitting and joining braids. They never lay flat for me
I'm going to try it your way next time!
