How interesting to see how this technique has spread since I brought it back from Turkey in 2007. I learned it from a Turkish shopkeeper in Ephesus who spoke very little English; I spoke no Turkish but we managed to communicate with our hands.<br /> I named it Turkish Flat Crochet because I had to call it something when I taught the technique but I learned later that it is an oya (lace) technique called Snakes Bone. You can see my original free tutorial and photos of out trip to Turkey, where I spoke at a bead conference at www.beadcrochetsnakes.com.

It is used to make the beautiful colorful hammocks available in all the beach resort in Mexico. It is also great for crocheted purses. I have link to one of the US suppliers of these cords on the nylon page of my online store at http://www.store.jewelsinfiber.com/nylontc.html. Go to the very bottom of the page under TNC (Thread Naming Confusion). <br /><br />Whereas the bracelets done here are made with bonded nylon Tex 400. The size that used to be called Nylon #18 in the bonded nylon is thinner yet it is the standard size of C-Lon Bead Cord and is Tex 210. C-Lon comes in 4 sizes of 3-ply bonded nylon and in 2 sizes of mono cord known as Thread Size D and AA. These last two are very thin Tex 45 and 35 respectively.

I would like to try the bead and macrame style similiar to knowjustmacrame, Sherry. Is this the cord that would be used for it. I picked up some no 18 nylon (Hilos cord) but i think it might be to thick. again really nice. Karenkarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03117152051326395510noreply@blogger.com
