Cute idea but not space-efficient.


Much more efficient than a contractor's weave, and not that ungodly
mess every time it's coiled. I get the same mess whether it's coiled
left (correct-handed) or right-handed.


I coil cords like climbing rope and secure them with Velcro wraps.

That way several long ones can hang on a peg, instead of taking up
shelf space like reeled cords, which don't stack well.


So coil what you want and use a CordPro for the most-used cord.
