I have just listed three totally unique shibari rope sets for sale on eBay. There are two sets of seven, plus an odd bit, of a very unusual braided rope that looks as if it is twisted in both jute and hemp of the finest quality.
There’s also a set of eight, plus and extra bit, of super soft twisted 3-ply hemp. What is special about this is that each of the three plies contains 7 sub-plies each with 5 super fine yarns. Nina has a set in jute which are her ‘go to’ ropes for all occasions.
I wrote quite a comprehensive article about these samples when they came in, which you can read here.
