Basically 7 Tosafos Chulyos with 7 winds per Chulya. This is in line with R’ Hershel Schachter’s reasoning to factor in the Raavad’s minimum length of winds.

Received an email from Ptil Tekhelet on this: זו שיטה של : יש 5 קשרים (לא כפולים) בהתחלה + 5 קשרים (לא כפולים) בסוף , כדי להגיע למניין של 5 קשרים כפולים . מתחיל ומסיים בלבן , ולכן חוליה לבנה בהתחלה ובסוף , בין החוליות יש 7 כריכות , כך “מרוויחים” שיש לנו 2 “חוליות”…

This Shitta is based on a very unique way to learn Tosafot. From what I was emailed: יש 5 קשרים (לא כפולים) בהתחלה + 5 קשרים (לא כפולים) בסוף , כדי להגיע למניין של 5 קשרים כפולים . מתחיל ומסיים בלבן , ולכן חוליה לבנה בהתחלה ובסוף . לגבי חוליות תימניות : אלו חוליות מלאות…

Vilna Gaon (GR”A) 7 Method

Vilna Gaon (GR”A) 7 Method https://bluefringes.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/17134431/gra-7-rambam-raavad.jpg 720 960 rhecht rhecht https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cf4ea0e3d991f0dbaa91512dcb5916b2?s=96&d=mm&r=g April 1, 2020 October 25, 2020

From Ptil Tekhelet: This method defines a chulyah as a group of three twists. It has 13 chulyot but can also be 7, and generally alternates white and Tekhelet between them, starting and ending with a chulyah of white. Those chulyot are distributed between five (double) knots with two chulyot between the top four knots…

This method assumes (like the Rambam) that all the twists except for the first and last be Tekhelet. It keeps five (double) knots, and distributes 7, 8, 11, and 13 twists between them. The Tekhelet string is wrapped through and over each group of three (a chulyah) in order to keep them together. It’s basically…

The thought behind this opinion is as follows: 7 winds of 7 chulyos is based on that the Gemara in Menachos (Perek Hatecheiles) states “no less than 7, no more than 13.” Almost every commentary assumes that those numbers refer to 3-wind chulyos. However, the Gemara isn’t explicit in what exactly the numbers 7 or…

Rabbi Bentzion Halberstam tying method. He explains the breakup in every units of 3, done Chassidishe style with Chassidishe Chulyos. Regarding the breakup in Chulyos between knots, he cites the AR”I in Shaar Hakavanos where he permits breaking up the Chulyos for the 7-8-11-13 pattern. This is done blue-white.
