Shibari Jute Our Shibari Jute is the creme de la creme of Japanese jute rope. With a brilliant sheen and a smooth finish, recommended by many famous Tokyo bondage dojos, this rope flies and feels like none other.
Our jute Shibari bondage rope is made from the finest grade jute fibers. All our bondage ropes are lovingly hand treated, washed, and conditioned. This single ply, Japanese style jute rope is has a smooth finish and an excellent twist. It glides through the air with an eager energy, making it fun to tie with.
As the other natural fiber rope, jute serves as hemp’s counterpart. The two contrast each other on almost every particular.
High quality jute rope starts out very firm. This makes it a favorite rope among many sadists and masochists who want a little more edge to their play.
The firmness of the ropes also means that decorative knots hold their shape marvelously in jute rope. In general, jute rope is a photography whore. The natural sheen of the ropes really plays to the camera.
Jute fiber weighs next to nothing. This adds a lot to the process of rigging. Movements become more fluid and elegant. The weight also applies to those who want to do outdoor bondage. A jute kit weighs one down far less than a kit of another fiber on a long hike.
Its tight weave also makes my jute ropes very durable, although one should be weary of other suppliers. Traditional jute is loosely woven which results in a very short lifespan for the ropes. When buying jute, it’s important to ask about the weave.
Jute ropes have enough grip to stay in place, but not as well as hemp. Careful tensioning is very important when rigging with jute ropes.
Jute also requires more handling when going through the wash. Jute ropes must be stretch dried under tension to prevent shrinkage.
