rubbed, such as cotton paper, is the most suitable.
Clay
Long clay cords can be used to make simple knots, such as the one shown in diagram 60. The clay strips are formed by hand, then baked to harden them. Clay cords which are colored and then baked make for highly original knots, as in diagram 61.

Living With Chinese Knots
In the past, Chinese knots were primarily used to enhance the objects they adorned, such as wind chimes, palace lanterns, spectacle cases, fans, jade pendants, seals and tobacco pouches, or were specially made as wall hangings for festive occasions and rites of passage. They were thus rather limited in their application and their beauty often went unnoticed. Even today, the items that are available on the market made with Chinese knots lack variety, and mostly comprise bracelets and belts with unimaginative designs.
