ginger dave 63 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Got a spool of twine butchers use for tieing meat etc, decided to make a few nets from it, I think it is made from rayon, great to knit with only needs single knotting, seems ok. I dont know how durable it will be in the field but Ill give it a go and post reports later, as any of you lads used it before and how did you find it?, regards Dave Quote Link to post
GAV*81 15 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I read in a ferreting book that its supposed to be good, i use spun polyester Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Looks good to me. How does the price compare to spun poly? Quote Link to post

The one 8,514 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 That link looks like the stuff our butcher uses its just like white string you would wrap parcels up with Quote Link to post
Giro 2,648 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 My pal made nets from this material and we have used them for a few seasons now with no problems. 1 Quote Link to post

ginger dave 63 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 the nets ive made are with the red and white string, they are very strong and seem to handle ok, Quote Link to post
threelander 81 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 the stuff ginger dave is useing is not the white twine as in pics pie eater put on.i make nets myself and i can get the twine dave used or the twine pie eater was thinking of for free as much as i want but prefer the trusted stuff ie spun polly or braided nylon.i would possibly try a stop net out of the stuff dave uses even a long net not purse nets.thats only my opinion guys Quote Link to post
