The work was all hand work.  I have not learned to do drop spindle work.  I should mention that seven of us contributed cordage to this project.  We each made bundles about 20 feet at a time.  That would fit on the weaving stick nicely without being too fat. 

If I ever did another I would go with a larger mesh size!

 ;D  :o that is impressive i have made nets out of man made fibers but never tried to make it out of nettles or dogbane keep it up wish you luck

skyarrow:
Drop spindles are easy to use and make I'm not sure how big of one you would need to make that style of cordage I have the mats to make some medium size ones. My wife and I crochet so she make some nice looking yarn from a drop spindle

swamp monkey:
that would be interesting to learn more about.
