    Default Netmaking (when you run out of twine)

    You can seldom complete a large netmaking project without running out of twine on your needle. In my basic instructions http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...g-Part-1-and-2
    I mentioned one method of introducing a new length of twine to your netting. Here are a few more:
    Tie a water knot with the old twine together with the new. (the old twine is tied into the overhand knot made with the new). Maneuver it so that it is against the last sheet bend tied. Trim the ends.

    Take the last of the old twine (black) together with the new (gray) and tie the sheet bend. This is from the book "Net Making" by Holdgate.
