Purse net shape

[bullfrog 0]

hi all

just got my self a couple of spools of hemp , needles ,cord and rings. so far i have made about 6 nets some are shaped

starting with 7 rows leading up to 15 rows * 4 and reducing back down to 7 again ,also i have been making them with 15 rows and as long as needed I was just wondering how you lot made yours. those the shape help with the bagging of the rabbit, as this is the first time i have made my own any advice would be great full.

 

plus where can i get some 2mm braided polypropylene in yellow

i start at twelve then go to 20/21 then back to twelve. Also have got roles of twine that arent hemp but have very good properties. untangleable. Not sure what it is but its good stuff holds knots well. says on the label to twine it from a foodstuff manufacturer so guessing its maybe some sort of butcher twine, but its good, and only cost me a pound a roll, and 1 roll made a 15mtre longnet x 4ft drop (sets around 2 ft6 high) tried dying a purse net and the dye holds to two strands but not the third strand in it so dont know what material it is. any one have any ideas? sorry went off topic.
