The Weaver's Knot
"Knots, also mechanical knotters for piecing thread"

 
 
An excellent explanation of how to tie a weaver's knot, and other knots used by weavers, is in "Preliminary Operations of Weaving Vol. 1" by H. Nisbet, published in 1914 by Emmott & Co. Ltd., London, chapter 5 pages 90-100.  Copies of the relevant pages are below, and probably aren't very legible.  You can find the book on interlibrary loan, or send me a note & I'll figure a way to get copies of the pages to you, either as big JPGs or in hard copy.  (If there is lots of interest, I'll retype the text!)
