Cord Usage

In order to avoid dealing with varying units of measure (cm, inches, feet, furlongs), this data is presented as a simple ratio of cord length to finished length. For example, the Tractor Tyre is 5:1 for color one and 11:1 for color two. This means a 12" tie will require 60" (5 feet) of one color and 132" (11 feet) of the second color.
These ratios should be considered approximations at best. When you tie a new design, pull a little extra cord in case your technique is different from this chart's contributors' techniques.
| Design | Internal cord | External cord |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor Tyre | 5 | 11 |
