Abstract
A method and apparatus for manufacturing a frayless line is disclosed. The device includes a winder with a plurality of individually rotatable hooks mounted on its surface that rotates in a concurrent direction to the hooks, a spreader for separating groups of strands in a spaced apart manner at a selected point so the strand groups may be freely and easily twisted together, and a slidable rotatable support for twisting a plurality of individual group of strands together to form a line.
