100% European Hemp Ropes

100% Hemp Ropes

• How are your hemp ropes different?
  
  Our hemp ropes are made in Europe from certified organic European hemp that is processed without chemicals or pesticides of any kind. They are available in assorted diameters from 4mm to 90mm (0.16 inches to 3.54 inches). Sweatshop-free. Chemical-free: safe for people, pets, and the environment. Premium-quality, clean 100% hemp strands make our hemp ropes very strong. Our hemp ropes are made the way hemp ropes were made through the centuries, with no added chemicals or heavy metals: they are truly natural and sustainable. We offer hemp ropes woven with 3 or 4 strands, depending on width. Details are given in the price table below.
  
  We stock our organic hemp ropes and manufacture them regularly in large quantities. From time to time, we may sell out of a particular size: please indicate on your order form if you wish to substitute a similar size or back-order the out-of-stock item.
  
  
• What are some of the uses for your hemp ropes?
  
  Since 2000, customers have been using our hemp ropes to make award-winning toys, swings, hammocks, dog chews, box and luggage handles, handicrafts, signs, and more. The smaller strands, after oxygen whitening, also make 100% natural laundry lines; unwhitened, the natural brown color of hemp may bleed onto light-colored clothing and leave a "rope-ish" scent on clothing, but whitening takes care of both issues. Indispensable for the nature lover's and hemp purist's home and garden as well as the great outdoors, our organic hemp ropes are tightly twisted from clean high quality yarns.
  
  You will find infinite uses for our natural & mindful hemp ropes both for indoor and outdoor tasks and especially in the workshop: non-toxic hemp dog and cat toys (hemp ropes are really tough — cats can scratch on them and dogs love to chew on them, which is great for cleaning and strengthening their teeth as well as keeping them off things you don't want them to chew on). The thicker hemp ropes make great swings. Hemp ropes also make safe and natural skip ropes and hammocks (in fact, we have a couple of customers who use our hemp ropes and hemp canvas to make great hammocks).
  
  Hemp ropes make for unique, eco-friendly, non-outgassing, and hypo-allergenic insulation for log home walls, children's toy chest handles, bucket handles, tree-house drop-down ladders, handicraft projects (house and garden signs made from twisted ropes forming letters nailed on wooden boards are rustic and charmingly beautiful), and much more. Do-it-yourselfers will find even more uses for them. Chemically sensitive customers will apprecaite their purity.
  
  Hemp ropes have traditionally been indispensable for nautical applications (along with hemp canvas which was the sole material for ships' sails up until synthetics came along), so many eco-aware seafarers of today are turning again to hemp ropes to help salvage the damages done to the environment. In the age of Global Warming, more and more eco-conscious interior designers are also incorporating hemp ropes into their work: hemp ropes make great trims, curtain holds, and home accessories.
  
  Well-nigh indestructible, hemp ropes have always been valued for their natural tensile strength and weather-resistance since time immemorial (they are completely impervious to sun, rain, sea water, and rough use). In fact, up until the turn of the century when synthetics came along, the word "rope" was synonymous with "hemp."
  

• What sizes do you offer and how much are they?
  
  Our organic hemp ropes are sold by weight regardless of thickness or length. Price per kilogram is $22 for all diameters, but price per coil is different for each rope depending on weight per coil (please refer to info table below). The stated lengths are approximate and can vary widely, but the weight of the hemp fiber used is the same from coil to coil for ropes with the same thickness. Please budget in extra footage (by getting a longer hemp rope or additional spools of hemp ropes) if your project requires a specific length of hemp rope. Thank you for your understanding.
  
  25 mm = 1 inch | 10 mm = 1 cm | 2.5 cm = 1 inch
