Finished making Fishnet - Cleaning advice?

Post by PinchersAndShells » Mon Sep 05, 2016 5:43 pm

I made a fishnet to hang on about half of the aquarium's back wall. I just need suction cups to hang it, but I wanted to ask if anyone had any advice on cleaning it? Do I just boil it and then soak in saltwater, then allow to sundry? Any tips?

Just the SW soak and air/sun-dry is fine. Ditto for periodic cleaning.

Oh, HEY! I want to learn how to make that exact kind of net, where it's not just knotted into mesh, but looks almost chocheted, or something. How do you do that? Is there a name for it??

P.s.Looks good! :D

I just crocheted it. I found a link to how to make the mesh look digging through old forums or archives (I forget which one). Here you go: http://newstitchaday.com/how-to-crochet ... sh-stitch/
