Dyed jute rope

Original single yarn

A very Japanese style rope but with a higher than average yarn count for extra smoothness. Each of the three strands has 18 single yarns, which is 50% more than average. Thus, the rope is soft, flexible and compresses to form nice, compact knots and frictions.

As the yarn is dyed before making the rope*, the colour is consistent all the way through and there's minimal odour from the dye but no are no nasty JBO smells. It also means you don't need to wet treat this rope. It also has very little hair so burning off is optional. It can be used as is but oiling or waxing will help preserve it and create a wonderful silkiness with use.

The diameter is 6.2mm but I would expect this to break in to an exact 6mm. At around 17.5g per metre, it is a light and fast rope.
 

* The multi-coloured rope is dyed after manufacture, so might not be consistent to the core.
