Description
Genuine natural-fibre hemp rope manufactured by world-renowned Langman Ropes in Holland. Hemp rope was traditionally used on classic sailing boats however modern synthetic products, such as polyester, which can be made to look like hemp, are often preferred by today's mariners due to the strength and long-life of man-made fibres.
Natural hemp is still sought after by some nautical purists in the yachting industry for the rigging of classic ships. It is also used by landscape architects, artists and those requiring a fully 100% natural product.
Hemp rope is often used for climbing ropes in gymnasiums, pull ropes, gymnastic swing ropes, bannister ropes, theatre ropes, skirting ropes & twines. The larger diameters are also ideal for tug-o-war, as battling ropes and bootcamp/fitness training due to their weight. Because of its natural look hemp is often used in interior design applications, particularly for nautical or beach-side themes.
Langman's hemp rope is of the highest quality and is shipped to Classic Boat Supplies in spools of 220 metres. We sell hemp rope by the metre in diameters from 6mm through to 36mm. This hemp rope is twisted from 3-strands, or 4-strands for the 36mm.

If you are looking for a hemp-like rope that will last longer outdoors than natural hemp, then check out Hempex® - a natural-looking polypropylene rope ideal as landscaping rope, outdoor hand rails and other applications where weather and sun will degrade a natural hemp. See Hempex® Rope.

Langman Ropes natural Hemp rope
An absolutely great product. I love working with this rope. I have found that the nominal rope diameter is a little more than advertised, perhaps it 'bulks up' in storage. If sizing is close on smallish blocks this may be an issue. If I think this may be the case I will go down one diameter size and put the rope on the stretch for a couple of weeks. Otherwise, I do not know were I would be without this product!

Suitable for rope play ;)
I bought 50m of 6mm hemp to use for shibari.
I cut it into 6 pieces, and then washed, stretched, singed, and waxed it with beeswax and jojoba oil.
I have had lots of fun using this rope.
I was suprised, but not disappointed, with the farmy smell. Smells very natural!
10/10 would recommend/have already recommended to friends. -
Great product
Although not used for standard purposes this rope was perfect for the finishing touch to our mosaic fire pit rising up through our wooden deck.

Great from shop to delivery
I used the 6mm and 12mm hemp rope to give a nautical theme to glass jars to be used as vases. A great natural product as nature intended and just what I needed. Classic Boat Supplies gives an excellent, professional service while Fastway couriers have super fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering from them again and will recommend them to others. Bewdy!

Will see how it goes
This is my first time to use Natural hemp rope so I can not say as feedback. However, I have been using marine grade synthetic rope for lacing drumheads and it has certain life span and also get powdery when exposed to UV.
Natural products have sound textures and not cause effects to marine animals. I prefer to use old and ancient technologies.
