About this rope
A purple single-ply jute rope from Ogawa, the long-established Japanese rope maker. Like the rest of our Ogawa line it is light and soft in the hand with a consistent twist, treated to a ready-to-use finish (singed, oiled and softened) and cut to 7.5 metre lengths finished with overhand knots.
Ogawa ropes are dyed after the rope has been produced, which means some dye doesn't reach the core of the ropes and the ropes might feel slightly stretchy in the beginning. Once the ropes settle with use they feel and look great.
We order this rope in reels from the supplier, so it's not always in stock and when it is it sells out quickly. Purple is not a colour we offer in our own Anatomie line of jutes ropes, so this is the one to watch for if you want it.
A note on JBO: Ogawa jute rope has a light smell due to the use of jute batching oil during production. This smell fades over time, particularly if the rope is allowed to air. If you'd prefer a rope with less JBO, our own Anatomie jute line has a much lower smell.

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 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.
