Anyone know how to do the braiding to hold the poi balls? I don't mean the regular three ply braid, but the thick braid that looks like cording? Let me know if you know. Please and thank you. Mi

It's a braid I use quite a lot cos it's fast and easy to do once you've got the hang of it, and it gives a nice symmetrical round profile.

If your anything like me and crap at braiding (or plaiting) you could just get 9 pieces of string and plait them in threes then plait them all together?!

The standard three-way plait will result in the string being flattened. By using the method Dave posted above, you end with a circular cross-section, which is soooooo much nicer to spin with.
