Abstract
The occurrence of misties during a knot-tying operation is substantially limited by providing a knotter apparatus including a twine holder having a plurality of spaced apart discs defining a plurality of grooves between the discs. The discs further define a plurality of adjacent sets of notches. One of the discs has a thickness substantially greater than the other discs. As a result, the length of a portion of twine looped through one set of the notches and through an adjacent set of notches, is substantially increased.
