Looking for a kit of rope?
Primal Desires 6mm Hemp Shibari Rope made of 3 strands of high quality 100% flax fibre yarns. This rope is strong and durable being heat and flame resistant with low stretch, soft feel and a breaking strength of 285Kg. It is an ideal rope for the more experienced rope enthusiast who prefers to work with natural fibre rope. Hemp rope has been used by trades, boats, climbers and other sports and fitness people for centuries due to the unique qualities the rope possesses.
The standard finish on rope ends is for the tips to be knotted however the ends can also be whipped with a polyester thread in a selection of colours to differentiate lengths easily. For conditioning, we normally use Australian Hemp Seed Oil which is a carrier grade oil (no CBD or THC) however you may choose to use Camelia Oil or Jojoba Oil which are also widely used in shibari for rope conditioning.
Please Note: All images of the rope shown are in an unconditioned state and rope conditioning will generally darken the rope to varying degrees as it soaks in oil and the “flurries” are removed. The darkness and colour will vary with the type of oil used. When possible, we will endeavour to increase the gallery with conditioned rope images and we have samples of conditioned rope on hand at markets and events we attend where the rope is being sold.

FUN FACT: Today’s hemp rope is actually a recreation of the traditional hemp rope made from the flax plant. It is virtually impossible to find pure hemp used for rope making however the flax plant which is virtually identical in look, feel and performance. It is more commonly called hempflax but has been shortened to hemp by those who use it.
