Knotting Yarns
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
“Knotting Yarns -- This operation becomes necessary when a comparatively short piece of junk is to be make into a spun-yarn, or large rope into small, which is called twice laid. The end of each is divided, rubbed smooth and married (as for splicing). Two of the divided parts, as c, c and d, d, are passed in opposite directions round all the other parts and knotted. The ends e and f remain passive. The figure is drawn open, but the forks of A and B should be pressed close together, the knot hauled taut and the ends cut off.” -Britannica, 1910
