Step two . We take the running end with the right brush and, retreating from the edge about 10 cm, we clamp in the fist.

Step three . We take the root end in the left hand and stretch out the arm. The cable should be slightly taut. With the right brush, in which the running end of the rope is clamped, we skirk the root end of our rope from above and downwards to ourselves, then upwards (already from ourselves). Move the brush so that it does not fall into the loop entirely.
