Step 4When the strands are twisted enough they will begin to come together in a counter-twist
Use the paddle to keep the lines separated. As the rope begins to spin together you can slowly inch the paddle towards the rope making machine. Move the paddle slowly enough that the rope forms tightly, but not so slowly that the lines break.
Try to keep a steady tension on the rope between the paddle and the spinner hook as it forms. Between the paddle and the rope making machine the lines don't need as much tension. Occasionally move the ends closer together to relieve tension.
Once the paddle gets to the end you can take the lines off of the hooks. Continue to spin each line separately so that the remaining line twists into rope. This takes three people. You can then splice or burn the end to finish it off.
