The needle should not be toofull, for it must be able to pass easily through each loop ;practice will soon determine the exact quantity.* Needles are made of steel for fine work, and of bone andwood for coarser netting. Those used must be proportionateto the size of the mesh or loop to be made, not so large as tobe difficult to pass through the loops, nor so small as to hold. only a short thread, in which case constant joining will benecessary. The sizes are numbered from i 2 to 24. Illustration 73.—Gauges. These are the forms uponwhich netting is made, the thread being passed round themduring the process of making the knots, and it is they thatregulate the size of each individual loop. They are made ofsteel for fine work and bone or wood for coarser work. Anordinary steel or bone knitting pin will be found to answer * I should like to speak of the Italian manner of filling the needle, forit is certainly better than ours, as more thread can be wound upon itwithout its becoming bulky. Instead of passing the thread over the needlelengthwise, it is wound round the needle in a slanting direction. It passes,of course, through the pronged ends. L 105 Lads the purpose very well. Care should be taken in the choice,and pins that are rough or uneven should not be used, because,not only will the worker find it difficult to make the knotsslip easily over the rough s
