From simple household tasks to the most difficult jobs, knots have been used for centuries and continue to be handy up to the present time. There is a variety of knots, ranging from the simple to the more complicated ones and each has its own use. While tying a knot may be easy, learning how to do it the proper way should be achieved to make sure that the knot is secure and it would serve its purpose. There are a number of knots that can prove to be very useful.
Types of Knots Used For Moving Needs
Sheet Bend
Sheet bend or weaver’s knot is useful in packing stuff that will be moved to another destination. In this type of knot, two ropes are tied together, with one rope thicker than the other. The sheet bend is done by forming a bight with the thicker rope. The end of the thinner rope goes inside the bight and around it and into the opening that is formed. Then, this is pulled.
Our movers can rely on this type of knot since this will not slip even if it is placed under load. To make it stronger, they can apply more pressure. This can, also, be utilized on boxes to prevent them from being ripped off. This way, they can be sure that these things are safely transported.
Alpine Butterfly Knot
When packages need to be pulled, movers will find the Alpine butterfly knot useful. Start this knot by forming a bight in the mid-section. Then create 2 loops by twisting them twice. The one on top should be larger than the other. Bring the loop on top over the bottom then fold it at the connecting link, with the bottom loop inside the top loop. Get the bottom loop’ farthest edge from the very first loop and bring it all through the smaller loop. Tighten well.

Place the 6 on top of the 9, with holes aligned with each other. Let the end of the 6 go through the bottom of the 2 holes and out into the other side. Do the same for 9.
