rope :
Lay it flat to form the form of a rainbow anterior to cutting to avoid waste.
once you have your determine, cut into x5 pieces.
We will use the following lengths from away to inside curl in our rainbow .
64cm – 56cm – 48cm – 40cm – 34cm
Thick Yarn :
I have chosen to use five different colours for a fun effect. This thread will wrap around you rope to create a textured effect.
We will use the trace lengths from outside to inside curve in our rainbow .
14m – 13m – 12m – 11m – 10m
You can use any yarn hera, if it is thinner than shown you will need to add extra length, if doing so, its advised to work straight from the ball and not snip your lengths.
I have used a fun Cotton Frizz ribbon in natural to add fun texture, sake and articulation to this rainbow. Have fun, experiment with your narration collection or visit a thrift workshop to see what treasures you can find !

Step Three:
Attaching Yarn to Rope
- Take the character materials for your big rainbow curve
- Leave 2cm from the end of your rope and attach your yarn with an overhand knot. Leave the tail facing back towards the rope length.
- Take the Yarn in your hand and commence wrapping it firmly ‘around and around’ around the rope, on top of the yarn tail, covering it up completely.
For best result, ensure that your wrapping technique is neat and consistent.
- Continue this wrapping technique along the entire length of rope until you come to the end. Leave a 2cm distance of rope visible.
- Thread your yarn through the large eye needle. Sew a stitch back through your last wrapping rotation. Repeat this x3 times to secure your yarn in place.
- Now thread the needle and yarn back up under and through your rainbow curve, covering around 3-4cm. This hides and secures your yarn. Snip the remaining tail once complete.
- Take your captive bend and lightly shape it back to its rainbow form .
You may be able to slenderly see your initial overhand slub and the nip tail ; this is the back of your slice and will not be on display .
- now we repeat this action, wrapping all five curves. once arrant lay them all in concert and gently manipulate their rest shape before we sew them together .
Step Four:
Sewing your curves together
see that you are working on the back of your musical composition
Take your little curved needle and a length of cotton thread ; you will sew every rainbow to its neighbor. Ensure your tension is tight, we wish for the curves to be deoxyadenosine monophosphate close as can be to each other.
If you do not have a curved needle a regular one will be fine, however a swerve one works magic here .
Step Five
Finishing your rainbow
Take your comb and brush out the unwrapped 20mm r-2 that is at the bottom of your rainbow. The fluffier the better ! Snip to suit your craved look .
If you wish, sew a small split resound at the binding of your rainbow to hang .
And that’s it!
What a beautiful creation you’ve crafted. What color will you do next ! ?
