Hi everyone and thank you for all the good advice.
Why would I need to use 4 threads? Actually, I donīt know!
It was a strand I saw advertised probably on Ebay, and the discription of it said: knotted with four threads... so I thought this might be very interesting to know how to do it.
Thanks Caitlin for the explanation, I am a bit tired right now and will have to read more carefully in the morning so I understand everything...
