Double Sheet Bend

The double sheet bend builds on the sheet bend with an extra wrap. Use it to start or finish a repair, or when the twine needs more grip than a single wrap provides.

Add the Second Wrap

Begin with a loose sheet bend.
Pass the repair twine through the existing loop, around both sides, and beneath its own incoming strand. Keep it loose enough to add another turn.
Go around once more.
Take the working end around both sides of the existing loop again. Lay this second wrap beside the first, then tuck it beneath the same incoming strand again.
Set both wraps together.
Hold the existing mesh in shape and draw the repair twine snug. Keep the two wraps side by side, with the knot seated around the loop.

Before You Move On

Both wraps should be visible and seated on the loop. Give the connection a steady pull and check that neither the knot nor the surrounding mesh shifts out of shape.
