i had a go with fillis but found it too thick to get the knots to bite properly. get some hemp to start with its only a tenner or less a spool and is the best to learn with imo. the hardest bit is tying the first row of knots onto the ring and not having the knots slipping, takes me ages. but once youve done that bit it isnt too bad just patience and remember to keep everything tight.

good luck

spun nylon is the best like hemp but does not rot

[Guest Bigbob]

Think about it mate a net kits no that dear and you can use the nets ,why spend time and effort making nets you cant use or that will fall to bits or rot in a short space of time

each to there own ferrets, if you get some quality hemp them that is good imo. i like the way it handels but ye you have to dry it out so if your lazy get some spun. saying that though im making some spun nets at the moment that seems like good materials. its white spun which is thicker than hemp and some back which is abot the same thickness and its quite stiff. i dont think much of the thinner spun though thats allmost asbad as the normal nylon.
