 Plants for cordage 
You can make useful string and twine and rope out of plant fibres.   The term cordage encompasses everything from fine string to cords to thicker ropes. All of these things begin with strands of fibre twisted or braided together in a way that gives them strength and length. You can start by making thin string, then twist lengths of this string together to make cord, then twist lengths of the cord together to make rope.   You’d be surprised how many plants have leaves or stems that contain fibres tough and long enough to be turned into useful cordage - plants that grow in your garden or in the wild, or weeds that grow by the roadside. You can grow your own fibre plants or forage for them.   You’ll never run out of cordage again!   See crafty pictures on Instagram at Mill Cottage, the Little House on the Peninsula Watch our amazing videos on YouTube at Craftsteading Visit our website at www.craftsteading.com
