I'd love to see an example of a three-strand rope with a left hand twist 
to it .. there was something about this one that just didn't feel quite 
right.


Then:
... your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a 
macro for a stranded 3-strand rope. Not sure of the specs, but each 
strand in hemp ropes tends to be a twist of smaller strands ...

Cheers!
