I think I've cracked doing 16 strand (and 20 strand) 2 colour recurve strings. But what's the best way to 2 colour strings that need an odd number of 'loops' around the jig - i.e 14, 18, 22 strand?
Do you need to join the two colours with a knot at the halfway point of winding the string onto the jig? Or do you tie them off seperately at the 'far' end of the jig and let the serving hold them together, as they do at the other end?
Or is it best to simply do one loop more of one colour (i.e 5 loops of colour 1, 4 loops of colour 2) and hope no-one notices the slight imbalance? :duh:
