Step 13Wrapping the Mallet
The mallet is sanded to be comfortable; the glue/epoxy has dried; now you're ready to start wrapping.
Start by tying a knot just below the core. Then, begin wrapping over the top, and then under.
Over, Under, Over, Under....
Be sure to count the number of wraps around the mallet. If you want a set of mallets to sound the same, the number of wraps must be equal. Each time the yarn crosses the top of the mallet, that's one wrap. If you're still confused about this, watch the YouTube video.
The mallets I'm wrapping here will have 100 wraps each.

If you didn't know, professional grade mallets usually have a "mid-core", which is basically a piece of plastic piping right around the core. Oh, and how tightly you wrap the mallets determine how articulate they're going to be.
