Clara Premium has been two years in development and testing. Without a doubt, this is the best rope we have ever had. It is destined to set a new standard being superior to any Japanese rope we have used so far.
The weight is 17g per meter. The diameter is between 5% and 10% over the nominal size to allow stretching and therefore not to be under specification.
Each of the three strands has 6 sub-plies/strands, each of 5 yarns twisted together. The reason for this construction is to create a super flexible, smooth, loose-laid rope that is also durable and forgiving of rough handling. With this rope, you'll get the best of both worlds, long life and optimum feel and handling.
The rope has a slight odor due to the dyeing of the fiber which will disappear completely after a few days to give way to it's sweet-smelling due to eco-friendly production methods. Wet treating is entirely pointless as it is perfect right off the reel.

The best dyed rope I've used!
I'm not overly a fan of dyed rope as usually it just dries my hands out and makes it crack over prolonged use and yet I've not had this issue with dyed Clara Premium. Quality is as good as the natural Clara, in that it's nice and usable straight away. Usually with dyed rope I have to treat and condition it a fair but before it's usable but not with this, it's great to use straight away. In fact all I've done is gave it a light rub of jojoba for the sake of it but it wasn't exactly necessary yet. Will very much be happy to use a lot more of the other dyed version.
