This Kit is what got me hooked into Knot tying!! Seriously. I bought it from Mikko Snellman in Finland in 2018. It took three weeks to arrive, and took me several hours following his video step by step and learning each of the new-to-me knots and bringing them all together to make this Bell rope. I learned for the first time, through trial and error, the importance of Knot tension and consistency, and have since made many Bellrope, of different designs of my own creation, as you will soon do too using these building blocks!
This is the same exact Kit that Mikko Snellman Offers on his website, except it’s with our Cotton cord, and it ships from us in Texas, instead of from Mikko in Finland.
We now use 3d Printer Cores. they are more uniform, durable, saves money, lowering the price.. so now you can go buy the video from Mikko. Lacing Needles available here on our site as well.
Mikko has made his Bellrope Tutorial Video available at this link For $5.. I first bought this in 2018 and still now, I go back to it as a refresher almost every time I make one.. https://ko-fi.com/s/c4ce9e3227
Need just the core? No problem, added to cart will give you the same size below. If you want a specific size, leave a comment on the order in the Cart and I’ll make it for you.
Mikko’s YouTube channel is my Go-To, as is for most knot Tyers out there. Even Trevvett Knots whom we sponsor.
