6mm Red Natural Cotton Rope x 660 Metre Reel
Natural Cotton Rope
Natural 3 strand cotton rope is very soft to the touch. This rope is widely used in the agricultural trade and is perfect for decorative purposes such as handrail ropes and bannister ropes. Cotton rope is created from a fibre which collects around the seed of the cotton plant.
Soft cotton rope is easily dyed and RopeServices UK provides it in Red, Black, Optic White and Natural. 3 strand Natural Cotton is a great rope which is widely used in theatres, arts & crafts and macramé.
Cotton rope is a very tactile rope often used for animal halters, pet toys, and decorative rope work. Braided cotton rope or cotton cord, as some people call it, is very easily dyed which makes it popular for retail displays and commercial interior designs. Our cotton rope ranges from 6mm to 32mm diameter which is available by the metre or reel.
This soft rope is very easy to splice and extremely comfortable to handle. Though twisted cotton rope has many favourable characteristics, it is not resistant to water, oils, and other chemicals.
If using natural cotton for bannister ropes or handrail ropes, we would recommend using 1 inch cotton rope to 1.4 inch cotton rope (24mm diameter to 36mm diameter) as these diameters will fit our rope fittings, giving a perfect finish to any project.
3 strand cotton rope is a general purpose rope suitable for everyday work where a very soft textured rope is required for handling. Mostly used in applications which need a soft, smooth and easily handled rope so surface damage is non-existent. Cotton rope is widely used in the agricultural industry, home decoration, gymnasiums, theatres, photography, circus work.
Our natural cotton rope is also odour free.

Characteristics Of Natural Rope
Characteristics Of Natural Rope
Natural rope is a type of rope made from natural fibers, such as sisal, manila, cotton, and jute. It is known for its strength, durability, and natural beauty. However, when natural rope is used outdoors and exposed to moisture, it can shrink, expand, and rot.
When natural rope gets wet, it can absorb water and cause the fibers to swell. This can cause the rope to expand and become more difficult to handle. In some cases, the rope can even become permanently deformed. On the other hand, as the rope dries, it can shrink and become more compact.
Therefore, if you plan to use natural rope outdoors, it is a good idea to allow for up to 15% extra length to account for any shrinkage or expansion that may occur. By doing this, you can ensure that you have enough rope to complete your project, even if the rope shrinks or expands slightly.
Moreover, when natural rope is continuously exposed to moisture, it can also start to rot. This can happen because moisture creates a favorable environment for bacteria and fungi to grow, which can cause the fibers to break down and weaken the rope’s overall strength.
To protect natural rope when it’s used outdoors, you can treat it with a decking oil. This type of oil is designed to protect wood and other natural materials from moisture damage, including rotting and warping. Before applying the oil, make sure the rope is clean and dry. Then, apply a thin layer of the decking oil using a brush or rag, covering all of the fibers. Allow the oil to dry completely before using the rope.
In summary, natural rope is a strong and durable material that can be used outdoors. However, it can shrink, expand, and rot when exposed to moisture. By allowing extra length and treating it with a decking oil, you can help protect the rope from moisture damage, extending its lifespan and preserving its strength and natural beauty.

Please note that all weights and breaking loads provided are approximate. The breaking loads may vary depending on how the rope is finished. It is imperative to subtract 10% from the breaking load for each splice made in the rope. Additionally, please be aware that weights can fluctuate, particularly with natural products, due to differences in manufacturing processes and materials utilised.
