Ply Split Braiding Tools

A Gripfid is used when ply-split braiding to enable a cord to pass smoothly through another. They come in three different sizes to accomodate different diameter cords. The middle size, 6mm, is the most popular.

This range of colourful organic cotton cord from Helen Leaf Designs has been carefully twisted by hand specifically for the purpose of ply-split braiding. Each cord has 4 plys and is 2.9 meters long. There is one cord per bag. Each cord is presented in a plant based biodegradable cellophane bag.
