RopeHub Twisted Cotton Rope, Macrame Craft Cord - 1/2" x 10ft, Natural

After reading so many dismal reviews of rope dog toys, I decided to find a good, substantial rope and make one for my dogs. I compared three different brands of 1" unbleached cotton rope. The SGT KNOTS says it's made in the US. The other two were from China. Much of what we all purchase comes from China, and that's okay, but I noticed that the images of the coiled ropes from China looked lumpy, as though they weren't tightly made and wound. At that point I was comparing the SGT KNOT rope at 10' long to other brands, one of which was 50' long and the other was 65' long - both with prices in the $30 - 35 range versus $25 for the 10' US piece of rope. If you expand the item descriptions, there's a chart with item specifications, and I noticed the weight of one of the longer ropes was a little over 7 pounds for a much longer rope. Doing calculations to determine comparable weights for comparable lengths of rope, I noted that the two from China were similar and the SGT KNOT was more than twice as heavy per matching length. I figured the lighter weight ropes must be more loosely wound and either had thinner fibers or fewer of them, either condition making it easier for a dog's teeth to tear apart. So, I purchased the SGT KNOT 1" by 10' rope. The rope arrived in two or three days and looked good. Both ends were taped to keep the three strands from unwinding. Using just a Swiss Army knife, it was surprisingly easy to cut the rope into two pieces. I used a piece about 4' long for the dogs. I tied a big knot at both ends and let the two dogs have it to play tug-of-war. My mistake was not taping the cut end. In minutes, the puppy made short work of untying my knot, and the three coiled strands began to unwind. I braided and tied the three coils together and knotted it twice, and so far it has held. My failure to secure the cut end of the rope by taping it is my fault - the rope is good rope. The puppy had begun playing with it right away, and some of the time the puppy and adult played at tug-of-war. These are Pyrenees mix dogs, so quite large, which is why the rope needed to be a good quality substantial one, while still soft and non-toxic. So far both dogs and I are really happy with the SGT KNOT choice. In the photo, the two dogs are playing with the rope on lightly snow-covered soil.

Wanted to buy directly from Sergeant Knotts, but company doesn’t answer phone or emails. Nice stuff though.

Exactly what I was looking for. You don't need to be a sailor to know the limitations of certain lines. This is a natural cotton line, not meant for abrasive environments. Make sure to read the negative reviews so you can see for yourself that they were expecting this line to act differently than it was designed to. At any rate, it worked well for the coasters I set out to make for my boat. Cuts well and is easily whipped to prevent fraying. Good for crafts and accoutrements, but if you desire resilient, load bearing line, then it's going to cost you more than $.30/ft. FYI: 50ft made 4 coasters and 1 trivet.

The 1/4 inch size was exactly what I needed for my project. So happy I bought this rope. Great color (more white than off white), nice and stiff to hold its shape. No smell at all

I purchased this rope with the intention of using it for a hand-fasting ceremony at my upcoming wedding. The rope took dye extremely well, but it was very stiff and not very flexible for tying 3 pieces of the same thickness together. I now plan to use the rope for dog tug toys. I should have ordered a smaller diameter rope. I like the fact that this rope is made in the U.S.A. by veterans and if I ever need rope for something else, SergeantKnots will be the place I go to.

We bought a 10 foot length of the 1.5 inch rope to make dog chew toys for our 120lb dog. It is really a great product. My three kids each got a 3ft length and made their own style toy for the dog. We still have about 3ft left over, as SGT Knots sent 12ft 8in of rope - thank you for the bonus! The rope comes in a three strand braid which needs to be tied off at the ends in a knot or wrapped with electrical tape. We made several of the chew toys by unbraiding the rope and using a single strand. So, we now have 6 large chew toys of very high quality, plus material to make one big one or a medium and two small ones, all for under $25. One single chew rope can cost $10 or more, so this is a great value. The cotton weave is very tight and tough. My dog is a heavy chewer and loves tug of war, and though I just got this rope, I expect the chew toys to be very durable. I also like the fact that this is an all natural product that is made here in the USA, so I trust that there are no harmful chemicals or ingredients.

I just received this product so cannot comment on its longevity, washability, &c. But the negatives from other customers mostly concern issues that would be immediately apparent. I received the correct length in one piece. It does not smell odd. It is quite clean and white. Although it was not on a spool like the (misleading) pictures, it was neatly coiled and not knotted or jumbled. My girl and I are very happy with it so far. If issues arise, I will revisit this review, but I would happily buy this item from this merchant again.

My dog went crazy pulling on a segment of this rope. Nearly pulled my arm out of its socket. Put a bowline knot on each end for better gripping. If you cut the rope, make sure to tape the ends to mitigate unraveling. Nice thick cotton rope.

Good quality, arrived quickly. A nice Cream colour, perfect for any coastal decor

J'ai fait des sous-plats avec cette corde de coton, j'adore.

I bought two types of rope from Sgt. Knots, I expect this was a good example of the quality of their rope. Other suppliers have gotten mixed reviews, whereas these folks seem to care about the rope they sell and should be a good source for any rope user.

We wrapped a broken stool and the 5/8"x100' was exactly the right amount of rope needed to finish the job. The cotton rope is soft and comfortable to sit on and adds a nice weight to the stools. The only problem is now I need more rope for the second stool and this rope is now listed at $318 when I originally purchased it for $94.

This 100% cotton rope is beautiful and will work very well for my shelves for my new grand baby’s bedroom. The only thing I don’t know about this rope is what type of dye you can use if you want to change the color.
