TIE KNOTS THE FUN AND EASY WAYBetter to know a knot and not need it, than need a knot and not know it.WelcomePlease enjoy the most popular knots site on the web. Use the Category Index above or the alphabetical Knot List. Practice the knots that you need - and learn them well. You govern each animation: fast or slow, step using arrow keys, or use mouse-control. Beneath each animation is additional information. Website NewsThis update was introduced in July 2010 to provide larger animations and better controls and take advantage of today's larger screens and higher internet bandwidth. This website attracts about four million visitors a year. We have recently added a page to answer questions about our Name and Nickname. iPhone App NewsThank you to the many people who have asked when we will introduce a version for the iPhone. After many months of development we are pleased to announce the App is now available.

The program is faster, advertisement-free, and more convenient. It make an excellent training tool and the ideal gift for: Yachtsmen; Climbers; Fishermen; Scouts; Arborists; and Search & Rescue Workers. Safety:
Rope, and the sports associated with rope, can be dangerous. Wrongly handled, gripped, or tied, rope can kill, maim, or burn. You could be the victim! So, handle rope with care, inspect and test any knot you tie, and respect any rope subject to a heavy load, e.g., a rope controlling a large sail, a mooring rope when you are docking or berthing, and especially your own climbing rope. Never try to control a heavily loaded rope or fishing line with your bare hands. Control rope by taking two or more turns round a winch, cleat, or post, and use appropriate equipment for fishing line. It is unfortunate, but true, that the danger associated with heavily loaded rope or fishing line is commonly learned by experience, which is often very painful and could be lethal. Knots Weaken Rope
They do! Angles, kinks, and knots, stress the fibers unevenly and weaken rope. If this concerns you, you are using rope that's too thin. Some knots in some ropes have been claimed to only weaken a rope to about 80% of its rated strength; other knots weaken a rope to about 50%. For safety, therefore, assume that even brand new rope will perform at no more than 50% of its rated breaking strength. And, if the rope is old, worn, or damaged by sunlight or chemicals - expect considerably less. For some useful test results visit Dave Richards' Knot Break Strength vs Rope Break Strength on the National Speleological Society Website.

Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed.
