You can use this device with any drill (cordless or corded) to make beautiful thicker cords from string, yarn, thread, or anything else like that.

This video shows assembly and usage.


The way cord or yarn is made is by taking one strand and twisting it in one direction.  Then you twist 2 or more of the fibers in the other direction and the opposing twists balance each other out and you are left with a nice string that doesn't try to twist in on itself.

This cord maker lets you twist up to for single strings by holding the outside of the cord maker.  Then when you let go of the outside it will twist those 2-4 strings together into the thicker string.  If you do each of those stages about the right amount you'll end up with a well balanced string/cord.

The Dreaming Robots Cord Maker will come fully assembled and lubricated.

Cord Spinner

The Communication and prompt shipping was fantastic. Better is the product is exactly as advertised and is a reliable working cord twister. I will recommend this source to my students and will be buying more to stock for my classes.

Good thought for a first version

This product is ok, but needs some tweaking. The axle that goes into the cord maker and the drill does not lock in and it can spin off the drill. It's a bit small with not quite enough spacing between the hooks. This causes wobbling in the cords and jumpovers. If you look at the finished cord in the video you can see the jumpovers, which ruins the cord. If you are not sure of what a jumpover is, think dark, dark, light, light. When the jumpover occurs it becomes dark, light, dark, light. It's also sporatic so a great deal of the cord is wasted. Please know that improper tension also causes wobbling and tying to a book will never work. You must have a proper outend either secured or weighted to create the proper tension and the IOT shrinkage.
