Roper's Knot Pages - The Noose
The third noose is based on the the Multifold-Overhand-knot.
As its second name already suggests it has a dark history.
It is also used as a knot to tie angling-rods to fishline.
Never play hangman. It can really kill.
The Scaffold knot or Gallows Knot the WEB.
The Hangman's Knot.
This knot is used for the gallows-tree as well. The force to close it
is adjusted better than with the gallows knot. And because it is
bigger in the neck it is believed to break the neck more easy. That
would make it more mercy-full as the gallows-knot which kills by
strangeling.
The Hangman is also used as a knot to tie angles to fishline.
Never play hangman. It can really kill.
The Hangman's Knot the WEB.
The Reverse Eight-noose.
This is (so far) the only 'wrong' running noose I know
applications for. It to tie a package and ... for tieing YoYo's.
Experts use one loop to make it possible to let the yoyo spin
on the end and to call it up with a little firm pull. The yoyo
has to spin fast and the noose has to be trimmed carefully.
Starters use two loops and tie it firmly.
Use eventually an overhand-knot on the cross-marked ends.
(This is not the best way to fasten your YoYo. If you want to
use the best thechnique you have to un-twine a line with
two yarns and re-twine one of the yarns by doubling it with the YoYo in the middle. Free-spinning the
YoYo my wear out the loop.) The Reverse Eight-noose the WEB.
