knotless

Free of snarls

Knotless describes something without knots.

Hair extensions that are knotless attach without the small bump at the scalp that traditional braiding creates: knotless braids.

Fishing nets may be knotless for smoother handling.

The word applies to any rope, cord, thread, or material that lacks knots or has been designed to avoid them.
