Purse Net Making

[The one 8,460]

Thing is if we dont pass it on it will be another one of the old arts that dies, already a lot of folk are buying sheet netting and banding them on rings nothing like the same as a good hand made purse net

I have had some samples off of him. The twine in the link will make a good longnet twine but is far too fine for purse nets. This one will make a fine purse net.

 

If you want samples email Simon at yarnbay@yahoo.co.uk He has now got a gold polyester in but it is quite heavy and slippery you would have to double knot or do a Carric bend on it, would be allright for fox nets.

Been looking at the bonded nylon is it any good.

[jrobsm1 5]

Good question LoneHunter and your going to get a lot of spun poly answers, which is freely available and good for the job. I use it but also use sole sewing thread and think its the best material of the lot IMHO and not just because I get it for free

There is a valid point made here. Personally I think there are a multitude of threads/ twines out there that will suit a netters need. No one thread/twine will suit everyone. So experiment with different twines till you find one or two that suits your needs, your knitting style and most importantly your pocket.

In my honest opinion I would not use it. I has to be double knotted, the diameter would only suit long nets and as it only comes in white it would have to be dyed. This is where the problem lies. If it was hot dyed it would shrink the problem is how much? On the up side when it does shrink it pulls the knots tighter.
