counter clockwise direction. The second fiber is then
twisted in clockwise direction then wrapped around the
first fiber in a counter clockwise direction. The process is
repeated through the length of the rope. The twisting of
the fibers in opposite directions causes the fibers to lock
(press) onto each other making a stronger rope. The
rope is used to tightly secure or support something,
such as a load to a cart or the poles of the tent. Anc
