DESCRIPTION This is completely untreated for those who prefer to treat their own rope. Hand-made Raw double-ply Jute, medium lay ropes. Length approx 8 meters/26ft, diameter approximately 6mm. Raw ropes will still have their ‘fuzz’ and be stiff.Raw ropes are often the choice of professional riggers who have their own preferred method of treatment. They are also a great way for those just starting out who wish to keep their spending to a minimum (which is what I did when I first started too)! For details of the difference between single and double ply ropes see this article. ROPE SUITABLE FOR: This rope is suitable for shibari and kinbaku, and can also be used for bedroom bondage. Jute and hemp rope has traditionally been used for suspension. It is advisable to use synthetic hemp for uplines as it is not possible to provide an accurate weight test for natural fibre ropes, and any test on a rope's strength only reveals its strength on the day of testing. ROPE CARE AND MAINTENANCE JUTE END KNOTS All my ropes are finished with overhand knots, it is important to periodically tighten these knots. For other options on how to finish rope ends see my handy guide on rope ends.
