Natural rope

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three strand natural fiber rope

A natural rope is a rope that is made from natural fibers.[1] These fibers are obtained from organic material (such as materials produced by plants).[2] Natural ropes suffer from many problems, including susceptibility to rotting, degradation, mildew[1] and wear out very quickly.[3]

Cotton, sisal, manila, coir, and papyrus can be used to create a natural rope.[3]
