A tip...not mine someone else suggested it here and it helps.

You can tease out one of the strands of cord holding the lash material and the cord becomes less bulky and wraps more neatly and delicately.

Then you can use the extra cord [my idea] for other things...I've used it for legs and it looks good but haven't fished it yet...could be used for ribbing...use your imagination....color varies of course depending on what you started with..
