Who makes the tzitzit strings?

Hi,

The tzitzit strings, and their attachment to the four-cornered garment, must be done by Jews; the Torah introduces this mitzvah by saying 'Speak to the Jews...'

Some further prefer that this be done by men, specifically, because the mitzvah is obligatory for men, and only optional for women.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 14:1)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
