Stonk Knots - Knotted craftwork and rope designs created as projects and commissioned orders. The images below link to a collection of ideas and projects, many of which were produced as commissioned work. They include a variety of especially sourced materials and particular solutions. Included in our Stonk Knots Gallery is a selection of intricately knotted ship's bell pulls, a hammock traditionally netted by hand using cotton seine twine, and designed with a cradle centre to prevent capsize, a giant rope spider web climbing frame, bespoke knotboards, custom made rope dog leads and toys, a round rope swing, a rope ladder, curtain tie backs and an array of decorated netted coloured glass floats. Some of these items have been moved from the regular products section because the rope required for them is no longer available; it has become more and more difficult to find high quality natural fibre rope and cordage consistently in what is a minority market for the rope manufacturers.

First off, this is important, the fabric I used to print on without any backing was like a heavy weight WHITE canvas (not exactly canvas but something like it.
