hemp rope
Fibrous binding cord
Hemp rope is cordage made from fibers of the cannabis plant, valued for centuries for its strength, durability, and resistance to rot when wet.
Before synthetic materials became common, hemp rope was standard equipment on sailing ships and farms.
It remains popular for applications where natural materials are preferred, such as decorative use, gardening, and crafts.
The old barn still had coils of hemp rope hanging from the rafters.
