Our most affordable option.
We cut the rope to size and send it straight to you untreated.

The premium option
Finished rope with tightly wrapped whipping instead of knotted ends.
We leave the ends long so you can trim to your desired length.

Broken in for softness, singed to prevent shedding, then heat treated with conditioning oils for further softness on the skin.
Finally, the ends are tied off with footrope knots.
Why Jute?
Jute is the premiere choice for Shibari rope, valued for its unique traits.
Rope Material Comparison Chart
-
Jute has an ideal combination of natural texture, creating "bite" for friction, and low elasticity, ensuring knots don't tighten up beyond where you set them. This combination of traits makes for rope that is easy to tie tight and secure knots and frictions, but also remains easy to untie afterwards.
Over time, jute absorbs oils from the hands and skin, softening its feel and deepening its golden luster, creating a rope that feels softer with each use. This natural fiber has a low allergy incidence rate, which makes it a thoughtful choice for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
-
Jute batching is essential for producing high quality rope, softening raw fibers with oil, water, and emulsifiers for spinning into yarn. Traditionally reliant on whale oil and in modern times using petroleum-based JBO, the process has faced criticism for exposing workers and consumer alike to this chemical. While JBO is cost-effective and speeds up production, it leaves a kerosene-like smell and poses health and environmental risks.
In contrast, our ropes are batch-processed with cold-pressed, fortified soybean oil, a cleaner, safer alternative. Though more expensive and time-intensive, this vegetable-based oil ensures skin-friendly, odor-free ropes while protecting workers and the environment. Choosing JBO-free ropes supports sustainability and promotes healthier production practices.
-
Jute is an eco-friendly fiber that decomposes naturally, avoiding environmental pollution and offering a sustainable alternative to synthetics. Its cultivation requires no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and it matures in just 4–5 months, and production waste gets converted into fertilizer.
Jute nurtures the atmosphere by absorbing large amounts of CO2 and releasing oxygen, purifying the air more effectively than trees. Jute supports renewable agriculture while meeting functional needs and promoting planetary health.
