Net-Making and Knotting

With the aid of over 100 step-by-step diagrams as well as many black-and-white and colour photographs, the authors teach how to make your own shuttle, and then acquaint you with various netting techniques - diamond and square meshing - and with three different methods of starting - the double headrope, grommet, and single headrope methods. You will learn how to dye your nets, and how to use different craft yarns for special effects. Most importantly, however, the authors present an unusual assortment of netted projects for you to make and learn from - a book bag, shopping bag, mini-hammock and hammock, planter, lamp cover and sculpture - as well as standard, practical nets for sports and fishing.
