    Marking Dark Colored Amsteel

    Just an FYI.

    My wife and I made some continuous loops yesterday, but had a problem with marking the cord. Red, blue, yellow... nothing showed on the cord. We ended up using Scotch tape to mark locations.

    I never use black amsteel, but on all the other colors a black sharpie works fine for me.

    I have found that pinching the line at the place you want to mark is very effective, and ends up being a bit quicker. Just a thought.
