fil noueur

français vers anglais Autre Art, artisanat et peinture Crochet/Jewelry Making
This is a term used in hard/sculptural crochet. A similar term, fil porteur, I have found in English as carry strand. I think fil noueur may be a knot strand, but I can't find any use of it in English. Does anyone know for sure what it is?

You can knot as you string with this method, or string all of the beads on to the carrier string only, and then work the knotting string through the beads as you go. Start with either a bead tip or one bead through both strands. Then, take the knotting
