Dual couloured double thonging

[Dags3777]

Is their any way to do a two couloured double thong around the edge of an item. I usually do the double cordavan thong. Thanks in advance. Darryl

There is the 4 thong mexican roundbraid in Bruce Grants encyclopedia of rawhide and leather braiding, page 298, 299. You can use 4 tones or two tones in pairs. Some say this one is easier to do than the single thong roundbraid but I've haven't gotten around to try it yet.

Thats it my friend, does it have a special name, I have scoured the various books I own, with no referance. Any help would be appreciated, I have to do a triangle fishing seat, finished in Blue & Red. Thanks Darryl

It's actuall pretty easy. I learned how to do it from this book. It has much a better pictorial explination than I can give in words. It is a double loop lace just as normal, except you alternated colors.

Are you talking about the "Lacing and Stitching for Leathercraft" book from Tandy? Yes, that is a really good book. Easy to understand and well illustrated. Thanks, Marlon!
