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 are no nasty 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 coloring process dries out the fiber of the rope. We recommend using almond oil, tsubaki oil or wax to nourish and soften the rope.
NEW! We have developed for this rope a special dry treatment that does not alter the color.
The colorful rope keeps its bright color and becomes incredibly soft and pleasant to the touch.

too tight for tying
A very tight laid rope. Which makes it not pleasant to tie with. Despite the 'very little hair so burning off is optional' mentioned in the description I burnt off the hairs. Treated the ropes with mixture jojoba oil/bees wax. After two weeks of regularly tying, hairs still come off generously. Not my favorite for tying. More suited for suspension.

Great Rope!
This is the second time I have purchased this rope. I got just over ten months use for suspending before my rope showed signs of needing to be replaced. Half my original kit is still fully functional but I needed some more longs so I ordered a while new kit. Love this rope, favorite I have found!
