There is a very brief mention in the most recent Spin Off of something I have seen on television in passing where in some tribal communities, people make rope by apparently spinning two strands of fiber by rubbing them down their thigh without a spindle. I would dearly love to know how to do that. The Spin Off article suggests that rubbing the two strands down the thigh spins them, and then bringing the hand back over them in the opposite direction plies them. I can get both strands twisted, but then they just untwist. Grace Fred and Grace Hatton Hawley Pa
