Details
If you find yourself running out of rope just before the end of a tie then this kit is for you. 

An assortment of treated jute rope offcuts — short usable lengths that riggers affectionately call "noodles". Reach for one to finish a harness when your working rope comes up short, or to extend a rope with a lark's head mid-tie. They're equally handy for the jobs that don't warrant a full 7.5m rope: hair-ties, single-column ties, or light bedroom bondage. Lengths vary from bag to bag, but we aim for each bag to contain approximately 15m total length of rope.

As the name implies, they come in a small red cotton drawstring bag (20 x 24 cm) so you can keep them separate from the rest of your set.

Care & storage

Surface fuzz is normal

New jute develops a layer of fine fuzz. Some people singe this off; you can also brush it off with a coir brush, or just allow it to shed naturally with use. It's part of the breaking-in phase every jute rope goes through and not a defect.

Keep it dry

Jute is a natural fibre and doesn't love being damp. If you can, we recommend airing your ropes out after use by hanging them. If your ropes do get wet you'll need to hang them under tension.

Re-oil when it dries out

Over time and use, jute loses some of the oils and will start to feel stiff and brittle. Re-treat the ropes with a jute-suitable oil (camellia/tsubaki oil is standard, jojoba oil is also very popular). How often you'll need to treat your ropes depends on how often you use it, whether it's used on skin or clothing and also the climate.

FAQs

How many ropes do I need?

Two ropes is the practical minimum. That covers single and double column ties, simple leg and chest ties, and most beginner class content.

We recommend starting with four ropes of 7.5m. With two you spend a lot of time untying one thing to tie the next, which is a slow way to learn - four lets a tie stay tied while you practise the next one.

Once you are working on the floor you will probably want around eight, which is enough to combine upper and lower body harnesses freely. A full suspension set is typically twelve lengths or more.

Which length do I actually need?

Most people will want to purchase the 7.5 m length for shibari. We make longer lengths available to for those who prefer to cut ropes to a specific length, or sometimes because Naka-style practitioners like a single long rope in their kit.
