HI Mark,
I received several hanks of hard lay 3 mm (nominal) cord in various colors. After a few days of knotting I have a few thoughts I would like to share.
First I would like to say I am impressed with the constancy and overall quality of the cord. The lay is very hard and the cord knots beautifully. I tied 4 strand Matthew Walker knots, crown sennits, footrope knots with ease, and they all drew up tightly and hold their form well. My knottying has improved simply because I have been able to pay attention to the knots without worrying about the cord softening or un-laying. Thank you for that.
My one (slight) observation that may well be due to my lack of skill as much as anything else is that the cord cannot be spliced due to the tightness of the lay, and the fact that the strands immediately fall into individual yarns when they are un-layed. This is a minor complaint, more than offset by the sheer pleasure of using cord that knots almost ideally.
Best regards,
Dave in Phoenix, Arizona.

Big shout out to down under rope maker, Bloodknot. This stuff is the stiffest hard lay I've ever used, it knots up easily, no kinks and draws up tight without distortion. Shipping from Oz (to the US) was reasonable nd fairly quick. Nice stuff.
