Simple coil

Keeping your lines neat and tidy is one of the

secrets of happy knot-tying, and learning to coil
them properly is the first step in that direction.

Pretty soon you’ll be able to do it with your eyes
closed.

1 Make a coil. Start with the standing part of the line in your (non-

dominant) hand and slide your other (dominant) hand along the line to

form the loops. If you’re coiling a long length of line, use your full arm

span to create each coil, and repeat the same span for each coil to keep

them even.
