lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I have used this twine before in canary yellow, orange and hi viz yellow. I don't like the hi viz yellow it seems to have a softer texture than the others. Was wondering if any of you have used the pink and what the texture of that is like. If it is like the canary yellow and orange I will get it, if it is like the hi viz I wont. Some of you lads might think I am of the wrong opinion that it seems softer but that is how I see it anyway. Going to order a few bowls of twine when I decide, any opinions please. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to post

lifelong cumbrian 1,826 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Think I must be cross eyed getting r and s wrong way round. Hareydave, yes the hi viz seems soft, if catches crap more, brambles and the like stick to it, don't like it. Will go with canary yellow if no one can recommend the pink. not getting kinky or nowt but I just want something easy to see, Thanks again. 2 Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Your right, there is a definite colour/texture/thickness difference. Cant comment on the pink as I`ve not used any in a while. All feel the same wet and weathered. Quote Link to post
Leeview 791 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've only used agouti's brown long net twine,I know he also has it in green, these are a lot finer than the coloured twines generally sold as for purse nets Y.I.S Leeview 1 Quote Link to post
