Double Knot or not

[Pigeon Controller 1]

I have a number of 250 gram nylon twine spools ( 10 x 210/24 and 10 x 210/12) it is my intention to atempt to make a longnet or at the very least some new purse nets. In the passed it has been stated that you have to double not nylon twine but on unpicking a scrap of sheet net of the same size it would appear that this is a single knot ??.

Because the sheet net is made by a machine it is made at an increased tension and so only needs a single not??

Also what does the 210/24 and the 210/12 equate to?

 

Thanking you in anticipation

The 210-12 will be half the thickness of the 210-24

as for the double knot; start a normal knot,throw a loop, go round the back of the previous mesh then bring your needle across the front of the mesh and up through the middle of the mesh(Where you started) and then close it its actually referred to as a Carick bend

For nylon i would double knot it anyway ,but ive started double knotting every net i knit now and i find it easier

No need to double knot the 4z.

Don't know about 8z.

with the z type nylon i use a carick then a sheet bend with spun i just use the carick also try the 4z doubled it tangles them a treat

I use the carrick bend on everything from double stranded 4/12(thickness of cotton)right through to the blue polypropolene they use round road works it does nt slip it just gets tighter the more you pull on it
