These same directions can be followed for belts with any number of
strands looped through a buckle. One of the most effective of these
variations can be made with wide gimp. This belt, as made ten strands
wide and a yard long calls for a 1¾″ buckle and five weaving strands, 3½
yds. each.

_Materials and Supplies_
Although there are several qualities of gimp lacing on the market, only
the highest grade is fit for use in craft work. The gimp we carry is
made to order under our own strict specifications. It is waterproof, and
therefore washable. It has unusual tensile strength and will withstand
much abuse. The large amount we now sell makes it possible to offer this
improved gimp at lower prices.
