Making your own Ropes

you are a fast learner, that 1 mm rope looks real good.
Just some advice:
I wouldn’t use those little black things to wind the rope. This polyester thread tends to hold its shape, especially in a warm climate. That will cause kinks in your rope. The old wooden spools for thread are better. Or, like I do, a small cardboard tube that used to hold aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
