Wool Knots & Divider Beads
Rather than using synthetic materials to make our knotted chotki ropes, we prefer using Merino wool. For eastern orthodox christians the wool is a reminder that we are rational sheep of the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, and also a reminder of the Lamb of God Who takes away our sins. This tradition dates back to the first centuries of christianity, when Saint Pachomius had a vision in which an angel recommended to him to pray the "Jesus Prayer" using a knotted cord of one hundred. Divider beads are placed along the prayer rope, one for the 33 knot wrist model, two for the 50 knot model and four for the 100, 150 and 300 knot models. These beads can help us counting the knots while praying.
