I keep using so much it gets tangled or not enough.
Thanks!!!

Zach,
I use a wire about 3 or 4 feet in length for a 6 strand nautical Turks head and I usually have plenty left. But I am probably using too much.
Eljay,
I have a question: How do you stretch the Turks head onto the handle? I used a jewelers ring stretcher at my friends shop and have found that it leaves a nice, tight braid. However, don't have one at home and I'm not sire how to go about it.
If it's loose, do you use epoxy or glue to hold it?
