Spun Poly

[fez 4]

Has anyone else had a problem with spun poly... I've made hundreds of hemp net but thought I'd try some poly.... I just can't stop the bloody stuff twisting.... throw a loop and it just spins round it's self like I've never seen before.

Cheers fez.

how are you loading the needle? are you hanging the spool from a spindle when loading it? if not thats probably your problem. the twist will come out of it over time with use though.

yes mate the needles loaded of a spindle....you can pull six foot of the spool then fold it in half and the two just spin round each other.

agouti mate... the only thing I can think of is the tension it's been put on the spool...might try pre loading some needles to let it settle.

I've mine on a spindle and never had any bother with Agoutis stuff but have you tried loading six turns to the right then six to the left
