He used a bone tool called a "shuttle" attached to the end of the line to facilitate handling it and guiding it in the right direction while weaving nets. You can make yourself one by getting a sewing tool called a Point Turner and creaser. The cost maybe $2.00 and are available in your local fabric store. they are made from both bamboo or plastic. Run the end of the rope through the hole. Use it like you would a big needle to weave the net. It should be much easier than just holding the end of the line in your hand. If it's too big you can cut it down (probably easier in bamboo than plastic.) Good Luck and lets us know how it turns out.
