Hey all, been haunting this site for a while and figured it was finally time to start participating. Really enjoy making and using slings, I'll post some pictures later on of the slings I make typically in the huaraca fashion... labor intensive to say the least...

Welcome from Pennsylvania!
Looking forward to seeing your slings! |

Well here are my latest works starting from the outer ring working in:
1) 100% wool 4-ply worsted weight 2) 1mm Hemp cord from NS Hemp 3) 1mm Hemp cord from Hemtique 4) 100% alpaca dk weight (I think) So far the Hemtique 1mm hemp is my favorite. |

Very few out there doing stuff like that. Fantastic! :thumb: |

Welcome from New Jersey, TS. Great looking slings... better than mine! I was stationed at Ft. Campbell. Are you near there?

Appreciate the compliments, probably have 10+ hours per sling. I'm a slow braider, still perfecting some of the transitions. But it's become a bit of an obsession to make the "perfect" sling...
Hooah! Been through Campbell myself a few times, not such a bad place to be. I'm about three hours from there right now. |

Welcome from Minnesota!
The patterns on your slings look very cool. What are they made out of? |
Title: Re: Hello from Tennessee Post by SlinginTennessean on Oct 23rd, 2022 at 11:01am
Thanks Gaius, they're sheep wool, hemp, and alpaca wool. I learned from Owen and Flynn's book Sling Braiding Traditions and Techniques

What’s happening from Virginia, like the sling designs. Great braiding.
