USING THE ROPE MACHINE The Incredible Rope Machine winds a 3-ply rope from yarn or string. As the plies twist around each other, they create a thicker rope. The rope will also shorten as these plies wind around each other—this is called take-up. To make a rope, choose some yarn and decide on a length for the finished rope.

Add twist: Hold the yarn taut and turn the crank to the right (clockwise). As you crank, the 2 lines of yarn connected to each hook will twist around each other, forming the rope’s plies—see Figure 3. To tighten the twist, turn the crank more times; there will be more take-up and you may have to move closer to the separator.
