This knotted bell rope measures approximately 9 inches in length from top to bottom and 2 3/8 inches in diameter across the large bottom knot. The piece has been constructed around a rope-wrapped wooden dowel core to ensure the finished bell rope stays straight. The knotted covering of the bell rope is made of dyed hemp twine in a dark chocolate brown and a natural tan tied in a spiral pattern. The decorative turk's head knots, and bottom basket weave covering are fashioned from white twisted natural cotton rope. The eye of the piece is made around a metal thimble to ensure durability when in use.
Not only do we have one of these on our home's bell, but we also use one as a handle for our pull down attic hatch--much more pleasing to the eye than a random cord hanging from the ceiling!
