KNOTS

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Stopper knots are also known as knob knots,

and are generally tied as a terminal knot in the

end of a rope. Stopper knots are used to 'stop'

the end of a length of rope, string or small stuff

slipping through an eye or a hole. These types of

knot can range from the simple to the elaborate:

they include the knots that everyone has made to

secure the ends of sewing thread and the

decorative knob knots used to weight the ends of

cords used for curtain tie-backs .
