Beddy-Poacher 30 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Alreyt lads, Just wondering if anybody could give me advice on how to make my own purse nets.. I am thinking of using cotton. Is this a good material to use and is there anywhere I could look up on how to make them? Regards, Brad. Quote Link to post
russellpt6 5 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Youtube has videos for making nets. Hemp is the best for me and you will need rings,needle and a block of wood as a spacer. I may get round to making a video and posting it. Hope this helps Quote Link to post

Try here mate, http://www.agouti-nets.co.uk/tutorials.htm A good guide to start you off and can sell you everything you need to get you started. practise on garden twine to start with then once you've got the hang of it buy some spun poly/nylon. happy knitting.

The one 8,493 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ive got a couple of cotton nets but i think they where made during the war when stuff was in short supply Till you get the hang of making them use the cheapest twine you can find and once your confident move over to hemp ,spun etc I like a nice big net twenty meshs by four foot Quote Link to post
