Hand Made Jump Ropes

From the Homestead Fair archive, originally published 2016-11-05.

Each rope starts out as 5 , 50′ lengths of nylon.

Then we start to twist them until the beautiful colors begin to blend together into a tight rope. After that we pull them out straight and smooth. Then we attach handles.

These are wonderful jump ropes, just the right weight for a great jump!

During the Fair, stop by the jump rope area and make one for yourself, or purchase one already made. Then try them out!
