Problems Making Rope

I’m so close to having the “ah ha” moment and it’s killing me. Check out these photos. Beautifully twisted rope made out of alpaca and I did a core color of Blue so I could see what that devil was up to. Sure enough that lousy core keeps getting caught up into my twist.

I think I need a lot more tension on my core to keep it from twisting up into the rope. Now the question is how to do that without an expensive rope machine or a staff of 3 men!
