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.
