$285.00

Cord:

Quantity

Based on a marine thimble which would traditionally be spliced into the end of a rope to prevent other hardware from chafing through. Hand carved master. Sand cast and finished in house. The cord is hand braided in house using a kumihimo loom and attached to the casting by a sturdy stitch through the metal. I splice the clasps in place using an original technique. The sides of the clasp can pass through each other when the slots are lined up precisely perpendicular. The tan cord is pigmented rather than dyed and will fade to pale white or grey (based on your lifestyle) over time. The other colors are all very stable. The yarn from which the cords are braided is polyester, dyed, spun, and waxed here in Maine. All color options will stretch slightly over time. 22” cord including clasps. If you would like a different length please contact me before ordering.
