Cannabis Hemp Rope

Twisted Cannabis Hemp Ropes

Ravenox is proud to be the first hemp rope manufacturer in the United States in over 85 years. After the prohibition of hemp by the U.S. government in 1936, American-made hemp ropes disappeared and were replaced by cotton ropes and synthetic ropes like polypropylene rope, nylon rope and polyester rope.

Hemp’s fiber composition makes it an ideal alternative to cotton and synthetic rope in many ways. Hemp’s most notable functional advantage over cotton is its superior tenacity. Natural hemp fiber rope and cord is also more absorbent and breathable than cotton rope and especially more so than petroleum-derived synthetic ropes.

Hemp Rope vs Cotton Rope

Hemp’s low extensibility (percent of elongation) makes twisting hemp yarns a challenge for even the most experienced rope engineers. However, this quality makes hemp desirable for use in applications where “stretch” is a hindrance to product performance, such as boat sails and upholstery.

Ravenox USA-Made Twisted Hemp Rope is available in 8 different diameter options. From 1/8" twine for cooking to 1" rope for a game of Tug-of-War, we make it all.

Ravenox Genuine Hemp Rope is made in the USA on twisting machines that were also made right here in the USA - these machines have been making rope for over 115 years!

USDA Certified Hemp Ropes

Ravenox uses hemp yarns that are sourced with 100% hemp fibers from France and blended with 100% cotton that is grown in the United States. This unique 50/50 Hemp/Cotton construction creates a soft and strong, more sustainable rope.

Cotton blends very well with hemp. The hemp adds stability and strength to cotton, making the rope stronger and slightly lowering its shrinkage. It also enhances dye retention. Note that both cotton and hemp will shrink when first washed. As America moves closer to producing hemp yarns made with American-grown hemp, Ravenox will create ropes with these domestic hemp fibers.

Another unique benefit of hemp is its natural abundance of cannabinoids (non-psychoactive) and terpenes, the antimicrobial activity of which is well documented.

Ravenox rope meets the rigorous manufacturing and testing procedures set forth by the American Cordage Institute and we are proud to be 1 of only 29 manufacturers in the world that helps set the standards in rope manufacturing. Ravenox has been certified by the Department of Veterans Affairs as a Service-Disable Veteran-Owned Small Business since 2013.
