Eastern Christian Internet Supply Store advertises chotki that are monastery-made. They have all kinds, from the simple, all-one-color knots to those interspersed with colored knots. They advertise that sales benefit the monastics who make them.

I have one similar to what they offer that was knotted at Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Ellwood City, PA.

I came upon this the other day:

How to tie an Orthodox Prayer Rope [wattfamily.org]

The Monastery of Christ in the Desert [christdesert.org] sells prayer ropes in their online gift shop here [christdesert.us] made by the St. Xenia Sisterhood.

Hello Manual,

Thanks for the link re: how to tie chotki knot. Michelle [REZNUT] has a video and she SAYS she is going to lend me to decipher for her [.... probably because I'm "knottier" that she is]. She's had the video for A WHILE now, and says the yarn is too dark for her eyes to pick out the details enough to follow along.

I'll be sending her the link you posted.
Or maybe I'll just wait for her to happen across it here.
...and she will.

toodles & God bless, sUSAn
