I've had the best luck with one I got from Fr. Basil at Holy Resurrection Monastery. Apparently it was made on Mt Athos.
Actually, one of the arms of the cross kinda "exploded" within a week after I got it, but a bit of attention with needle & thread set it to rights, and it's been fine for the couple of years I've had it now.

I am using the knotted ropes, is it normal that they come undone?
When did Byzantine Catholic's switch to beads?

When did Byzantine Catholic's switch to beads? Dear Monk,, I can't answer that - but I have a little Chotki of Job's tears seeds and that came from a Serbian Orthodox Church. Surely what you use is what suits you ?

I use my prayer ropes, as long as it lasts it doesn't matter to me what it's made of. Originally posted by Our Lady's slave of love: Originally posted by daily monk:

I always buy devotional objects such as prayer ropes and icons from monasteries; while they may be a little more expensive, the quality and craftsmenship gives you something that will last, also you know you are supporting monastic vocations.

Actually, the various Slavonic rites always did use wood beaded chotkis, up until around the 18th century when they started having more contact with the Greeks. They still make wood beaded chotkis in the Carpatho-Rusyn mountains, home of the Ruthenians. In Christ, Tammy

http://www.rosaryarmy.com/ I found a great site that has instructions for making a rope rosary, it would be simple to make a komboskinia with the same method.
