spun nylon nets

[max abell 196]

Does anyone who makes there own purse nets know if spun nylon has to be double knotted ?

We make all our own nets and only ever use spun polyester cos it handles and knotts nice

its a pleasure to use but i fancy trying a few in spun nylon does this knott as nice as spun poly ?

and will we have to double knott it

would grately appreatiate any feedback on this please

Doesn't need to be double knotted.

I don't use nylon anymore, i am a convert to spun-poly and i also like to use hemp too.

Nylon, i personally, always double knotted but hemp i single knot.

Spun-poly, depends how lazy i am at the time, both single and double.

Leeview,

 

 

When using the carrick, do you twist the loop you are tying onto to get the knot to sit correctly, by this i mean to get the "bitter" end under the "standing" end?

 

I'm sheeite at explaining but thsi might give a better idea of what I mean:

Rigboot that link shows the knot being used to join 2 lengths, when I knit I come up through the mesh and hold it withmy thumb, throw a loop to the left(Im right handed) and bring the needle through the loop as the standard knot DONT draw it close, move the needle across to the right and bring it up through the first mesh again now draw it to a close and you should see it "snaking" round the mesh until its closed/locked on to itself does nt need a vast amount of pressure to close it and you can feel it "POP in

Thanks for that explanation,

 

I've tried a few different knots on scrap pieces to get a feel for them and it sounds "similar" to what I'm doing.

 

I'll try it your way next, probably easier when I've got a needle n hemp in my mit

 

Cheers again
