Vertical caving terminology and methods > Knots > Knot construction and behaviour
A knot whose purpose is to bundle a long rope up into a smaller, more manageable size, to avoid tangling. This is used for storage of transport, or to keep the ends of the rope from getting damaged. Coils can either be made from lengthy loops of rope tied together, known simply as a coil, or they can be a lengthy series of continuous knots, known as a sinnet or sennit.
