The Bookbinder's Knot

Also known as the Weavers' Knot ~ or the Sheet Bend or ~ Becket Hitch or ~ Loom Knot ~ or...

What's in a name? Here are some notes that provide some information on these different names for the same knot. Repeat...for emphasis...

They are the same knot.

The names are labels that distinguish their uses ~ users ~ and techniques of tying them.

The Bookbinders' Knot is a Sheet Bend, but tied with thread instead of rope ~ and tied in a different way.

The Bookbinders' Knot is Weaver's Knot ~ tied with thread of comparable thickness to that of the weaver ~ but in a different way.

The Bookbinder's Knot is a a Becket Hitch ~ where the beket is a loop of thread rather than metal.

The Bookbinders' Knot now exists on this page!

I am inventing and defining a suggested name for the useful knot used by bookbinders and bookcrafter's when they need to lengthen their thread in mid-job.

A Bookbinders' Knot is a Sheet Bend tied by collapsing a Simple Slip Knot around another thread of similar thickness. It looks and acts as a Weavers Knot ~ but the loom-minder or weaver ties it in a different way.

Much of these notes may seem like play on words, or messing with punctuation ~ in which case please do not get annoyed with my style ~ just forget the whole page and browse elsewhere ~ or think again about at what I am trying to say and suggest. To try to help your thoughts I have used capital letters ~ as I was partly taught at school ~ to describe what ~ for this page ~ I am treating as proper nouns (even if they are not!) The Bookbinder's Knot is a proper knot - as it is also the Sheet Bend.
