Does anyone have any info on how to pull 2 different color strings apart and retwist them? Anything would be appreciated. Gracias

Wait…

Why?

Why not just start from scratch?

When I make mine I do some wraps of one color thread, tie it off, then do some wraps of another color, and so on, if I want to.

I make it thick to preference.

Does this help?

I’m not sure what you said is feasible enough.
