"Now I have my section of wool all laid out but I need to wrap it around my linen cord to get my bracelet shape. So I'm going to flip it over, so this is my backside or my inside and I'm going to roll it around the cord. This is a little tricky so just be patient and give yourself plenty of time to fuss with it. But as I'm starting my roll, I want to go all the way around first on one edge, so I'm folding the edge around my linen cord and here's where my ends are going to overlap a little bit. Ok, so I've got it folded around one time, now I'm going to keep rolling. This sort of reminds me of an old kind of hair accessory that used to have and be in my mom's drawer in the bathroom. I'm going to keep rolling around my bracelet and I'm rolling it into the inside so that I have a nice donut and I want my outer part for my decorations to be on the outside and then my pink core is going to be on the inside. I'm going to try and mash it and compress it as much as I can to make sure that linen cord is on the inside and its not coming out uncovered in any of the areas. That's how I've arranged my wool. And then I'm ready to add soap and water in our next step."
