Can't find sinew rope and your machine uses white poly rope? Make it look a little closer to Sinew with BROWN poly rope!

why not use horsehair rope? That would do a wonderful job

Suppliers? I think it takes quite a bit of rope.
I did find a video on how to make it:

Still then you have to find a source for horsehair.

How are the two free ends of the rope secured in the skein? Seems like that's a critical bit of data.
