Hi Mate...Not sure what you mean by "Twine polypropylene" spun poly ?

I have some REALLY heavy duty poly (not spun) that I suppose you could describe as Twine polypropylene and it makes excellent nets but it's heavy and expensive (don't get that much on a 500gm spool)

Spun poly on the other hand is a very good material

most of my purse nets are made of spun poly,they are strong,tangle free and you can get really bright coloured ones,no chance of leaving them behind,if it's spun nylon you are talking about?they are also good aswell,a bit cheaper than spun poly,cheers......john

Its like a twine with a what i would describe as a plastic coating on it!

On a 250g spool!

Its not normal nylon but I aint seen this spun poly stuff!

If it's got a nylon coating, how thick is it? would you have to double knot it when making a net? how big would these double knots be? how many nets are you going to get from 250gm? those are the questions you've got to ask yourself mate . If I was you I'd go for either spun nylon or spun poly both are pretty inexpensive (you can get spun poly from Agouti nets)

i would go with what longnetter has just said,the stuff you are describing sounds a bit like builders twine,can you put a pic up?cheers......john

Hi pal is it similar to the stuff that you would expect them to sew leather bikers jackets up with??

If so then I have been using nets made of this stuff for a bit but they DO need to be double knotted also I usually knit them to 4ft+ as they can be a bit stiff otherwise and not lay right.

But have a go at knitting one and see how you go.

ANYONE WANTING ONE DROP ME A LINE AND I CAN SEND YOU A SAMPLE.

the orange twine round bales of hay, as well as the blue usually round show rings is what I've always understood to be polypropylene
