This is the first float I tied, using a cotton rope. I used only 6 pairs of rope instead of 12 to make it easier. It needs to have a soaking to toighten it up a bit. I dyed the formerly white rope with tea. It's a little crooked in this picture because I haven't got it hanging correctly.

Float tied with jute or hemp(hurts the hands, but comes in a nice natural colour) I can't tie with this stuff, it hurts my hands too much. Splinters and all.
