For full details see this link Hemp 6mm, 3-ply twisted, untreated natural hemp rope supplied in 7.5m lengths (25ft). Finished with a single knot at each end. Available individually ($8.32), or at a saving in basic 5 ropes sets ($37) and advanced 10 rope sets ($69.37). I believe it is of European origin. It is denser and not as light as the Japanese variant. It is thus more durable and less likely to 'un-twist' when kinked. Wonderful, evocative smell. This rope is transformed by treatment or, at least 'burning-off', see Care for instructions. Jute 6mm, 3-ply twisted, untreated natural jute rope supplied in 7.5m lengths (25ft). Finished with a single knot at each end. Available individually, or at a saving in basic 5 ropes sets and advanced 10 rope sets. Prices are the same as the Hemp above. A lovely honey colour and lighter than the hemp. Since each ply is made of many smaller twists, the rope has wonderful definition and leaves beautiful clear marks. It is my personal favourite and I now use it in preference to Japanese hemp because of its durability, low cost and looks. It can be used as is or treated for a slightly improved feel. Rope can be bought via the web site (www.esinem.com) using PayPal. If you have any questions, do not post here, contact me in email.
