Step 11Finish the rope ends
Use whipping twine or strong thread to whip the ends of the rope. The Two Knotty Boys will explain it much better than I can.
Your rope is now finished! To store your rope, coil longer lengths as shown in step 9. For shorter lengths, fold the rope in half twice and tie the bundle in an over hand knot. To wash your rope, daisy chain the pieces, put them in a mesh laundry bag or pillow case with the end tied in a knot and wash them in a washing machine with about half the amount of detergent you would use for a normal load. Hang to dry and re-oil.

Very nice, I'm in the middle of trying this myself. I'm not dyeing my rope yet, I want to see what color it ends up being first. And I used Sailmaker's whipping with hemp cord, which is nice and secure, and looks cool too...
