Hi,
When I was a lad we used to fold the lashing cable round the thimble. Then we would untwist about a foot of said cable and wrap each strand in turn around the two 'passes' of lashing cable. When that strand ended, we'd wrap the second strand until that also ended, then the third, and so on. If you get my drift.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Pete.
