Flax Hemp

The price of real hemp is so high that our manufacturers have changed to using a flax yarn. The strength of this rope is similar to real hemp and it has the same soft feel. Flax hemp is much easier to handle than Manila and is therefore the natural rope of choice for hauling lines on counterweight cradles.

When the front cloth of the Lion King rises, the flyman is hauling on our 22 mm flax hemp.

We now also can supply a 4 strand counterweight hauling line (20 mm).
