How have I never learned to twine? I happened across a video on how to make twine from grass and roots, and had to try it, but didn’t have grass at hand (and it is over 100 degrees out, I’m staying inside), so used my daughter’s hair.

I had a cute little machine when I was her age that would twine doll hair in a similar fashion, but it turns out you don’t need a machine; it is possible to twine by hand.

Next I took a 1” strip of old sheet and tried again. So fun!

I really feel that this is life changing; that I have the ability to make rope from nearly anything (even paper!). At the very least it is a good survival skill.
