10-5-6-5 add up to the numerical equivalent of 26, which is YKVK (the Tetragrammaton). This is a centuries-old tying Minhag (Italian Jews; Spanish, Portuguese and North African Sephardim).

5 Knots as per Rashi and a sense of tradition. Re: criscrossing as per the Ben Ish Hai, this tyer has seen this in a citation from ספר תרומת הדשן .

Received from someone who wishes to remain anonymous. To quote: Regarding pattern: The idea is to: (1) capture the nice symbolism R Aryeh Kaplan gives the Ashkenazi 7, 8, 11 and 13, the same groupings as the 39 melakhos; and as halachic argument So… You will see that the Ashkenazi implementation of the Sifra’s 5…

R’ Hershel Schachter learns the Rambam’s way of separating chulyos by knots. He also started out doing seven 3-wind Chulyos. For those that want to use Rambam ratio strings, this option is available.

R’ Aron Steinmetz gave Shiurim at the Erlau Beis Medrash in Boro Park back in July 2018. This Tallis was present at that event which a photographer took due to it’s aesthetic appearance.

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…

Rambam Method

Rambam Method https://bluefringes.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/17152545/rambam13.jpg 196 861 rhecht rhecht https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cf4ea0e3d991f0dbaa91512dcb5916b2?s=96&d=mm&r=g January 7, 2020 March 8, 2021

From Ptil Tekhelet: The Rambam understands the idea of Ptil as the string which winds around the others. Therefore, he requires all the twists to be of Tekhelet, except for the very first and very last. He defines a chulyah as a group of three twists. In this method, the chulyah is kept together by…

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

R’ Shalom Arush (Breslov) Tying Method

This tying method is an interesting combination of 7-8-11-13, divided by both knots and Rambam-style Yemenite chulyot. Rather than the first and last winds only being techeiles, the first and last chulyot are winds, and white is used in the event a chulya ends and begins at one of the 5 knots. The final result…
