Sometime when making a net, you want to create a net that is attached to a headline or headrope.
In this video you will learn how to cast your twine onto a headline using the clove hitch. Initially when you start, you will need to secure your twine to the headline. I personally use a loosely fitting fixed loop knot, for when I know that I want to remove the finished net from the headrope. However, if I know that the net will remain attached to the rope, I will use a slip knot and allow that to jam up tight against the headrope.
Adding More Twine: Often when making my nets and I want to change colour or run out of twine, I will use either the:
*Weaver's Knot:* youtube.com/watch?v=UivENFF81mU&list=PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA&index=8
*Surgeon's Knot:* youtube.com/watch?v=zMaBlFdlSjQ&list=PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA&index=7
Which of the two above knots I use, really depends on what twine I am using and how well it holds together.
*My preferred loop knot is:* youtu.be/-ZsPYA9aaGE?si=bggMFnBkeXKIgYAo
*My preferred noose knot:* youtu.be/-ZsPYA9aaGE?si=bggMFnBkeXKIgYAo
