I’m a Paracord and mohair Mecate braider. I have always ended my mecate with a Turks knot and use the remaining length of the cord for the tassel. I need to attach a horsehair tassel to the end of the mecate for the tassel instead. I have a vision in mind but Your advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you 😁
The way I make the tassels would not be durable enough for your mecate. Could you take longer pieces of horse hair and braid them right into your mecate towards the end.? then they would be part of the tassel at the end. I'm not sure this is much help but hope you come across something beautiful to do. Keep checking out the youtube videos. Hopefully someone has something you could use. Good Luck!
With the horse hair rubber banded at the top. I comb it out. Then wash it in the sink with either horse shampoo or dawn dish soap. Whatever you have on hand. Rinse it well then hang it to dry.
