I've been noodling around with the idea of poi where each piece consists entirely of one length of rope. I've finally made my first prototype set of these, which I'm calling "wrapper's delight"--I envision them as special-purpose poi for people with wrap-oriented styles: there's zero metal to burn yourself on. Plus, well, I just think it's a cool idea.

It's going to take me a while to get the fabrication process down. These consist of a monkey-fist knot around a smaller monkey-fist core, and the handle is an eye splice. Both techniques are hard to execute with perfect uniformity. I'm hoping I can get consistency through repetition.

A photo of these is in the gallery for this tribe. After I make a few more prototypes, pass them around, and get feedback, I hope to start offering them for sale.
