Hi
Have always made nets from natural cordage as they hold a knot a lot better than synthetic fibres, however, after leaving one outside for a few months the sun and the rain have rotted some of the cords leaving me with big holes.
Experimented again with a small net made from twisted nylon cord, however, after a few days the knots just worked loose i.e. your classic sheet bend. Does anyone have experience of making nets with these more slippery synthetic fibres, have considered double knotting or perhaps you need to switch to a different knot with a new knitting technique?
