There was a time when you needed rope, you made it first by essentially braiding sisal twine together, the larger diametre the rope needed the more strands of twine used.
But it was not a case of hand braiding. There is a vintage tool that farmers and others used.
One of those rope makers resides in the Yorkton branch of the Western Development Museum.
Today, (Thursday), members of the Yorkton Threshermen's Club Inc. were at the Parkland Mall in the city demonstration how to make rope.
The unit will be used again at the 65th Annual Threshermen's Show& Seniors' Festival. Aug. 1 and 2.
