Premium Jute Shibari rope - 6.5mm

This premium German jute rope is 3-strand twisted (3-ply). This jute rope is also JBO free. 

What does 3-ply mean and why does it matter?

Een shibari touw bestaat uit strengen (plies) die samen tot een touw gedraaid worden. Dit touw gebruikt 3 strengen, elk opgebouwd uit meerdere garens. Die 3-ply constructie geeft het touw een rondere, vollere doorsnede dan single-ply of 2-ply touw. 

In comparison: single-ply ropes (like Koumanawa) are lighter and more compact. Knots become smaller and tighter. 3-ply ropes provide more volume and structure, which offers more comfort for the bunny. Neither is "better"; it depends on your preference and what you want to achieve. The rope has a greater load capacity and is therefore very suitable for suspension.

Treatment: ready to use or raw

If you choose treated rope, I finish each rope by hand:

  • 2x spinning and burning to remove loose fibers
  • Treated with 50% beeswax and 50% jojoba
  • 10 minutes in the oven so the wax penetrates to the core
  • Optionally finished with a Thistle knot

If you buy a set of 5 ropes, you get an extra free rope of 4m

We also have premium6mm Koumonawa juterope from a Japanese producer.
