Re: Using string for the Khana
Making khana is a effton of work. Knotting together hundreds upon hundreds of joints takes ALOT of time. Using mediocre cordage because you think it looks cool, this you might regret down the road.
Before you commit to using that cord, test it for strength. Abrade it and see how easily it frays. Check to see how well it holds knots. Whatever cord you use, pull the knots good and tight with pliers.
I used 1/4-20 bolts and nylock nuts on all three of my small yurts. Hardly trad but no issues with wearing out. That said 'good' cordage will be fine. Good luck.
