SOLD BY THE METRE - A QUANTITY OF 1 = 1 METRE.We love to use our 4mm hemp rope for a whole range of applications; its perfect for use as kitchen/baking twine, as well as garden twine, jewellery making, as a natural washing line, or even to use as a natural pet toy.Dont just take our word for it though Hemp has been the rope material of choice for generations, with civilisations as far back as 8-10,000 BC (In China) showing evidence of hemp rope use. The Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Vikings and Royal Navy have all relied on the strength and durability of hemp as a rope material, and we think its still the stand-out choice today for anyone looking for a high-quality, long-lasting rope.Its an environmentally-conscious choice too Our rope is made in the EU from the highest quality organic farming methods and is naturally biodegradable. It demands less water than alternative natural materials and requires absolutely no pesticide, herbicide or chemical fertilisers in its production, unlike cotton which accounts for of global agricultural chemicals. Synthetic ropes have the additional problem of releasing microparticles into the environment which can remain for hundreds of years, but that's not an issue with hemp As if that wasnt enough, hemp is a natural carbon sink, meaning that it is brilliant at capturing CO2 from the atmosphere and trapping it, and is able to grow in soil where other crops cant, whilst leaving the earth better and more fertile than the day it was plantedSuggested Uses: Kitchen Twine Butchers Twine Bakers Twine Macrame Crafts Natural Jewellery Making General Arts and Crafts Natural Gift Wrapping Ties or Packaging Ties Gardening Twine Natural Clothes Line / Washing Line Hanging Plant Holders Natural Pet/Parrot Toys...and whatever your imagination can come up with Let us know what you plan on using your hemp rope for.Features: Diameter: 4mm Circumference: 12.6mm Construction: 3 strand, twisted Weight (per metre): 7g Origin: Europe All-Natural: Yes Core: No Buoyancy: Floats Abrasion Resistance: Excellent Tensile Strength: Excellent Knot Retention: Excellent Biodegradable: YesStorageStore in a cool dry place.AromaPlease note, hemp rope can have a strong and distinct natural aroma when it first arrives. Some have described it as similar to hay or flour sack. Although this aroma does almost disappear after a few months of use, a certain unique smell can remain detectable for the lifespan of the rope. The smell only gets more pleasant over time, while also becoming weaker. After a while the less pleasant notes fade away and you will be left with a sweet and natural hay-like aroma from your hemp rope.
