Twisted Hemp Macramé Cord

Super Soft Natural Hemp Macramé Cord

Cannabis Natural Hemp Macramé Cordage

Ravenox is proud to be the first hemp rope and cord 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’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. 

For Every Macramé Project

Great for DIY macramé crafts, including macramé wall hanging, macramé plant hangers, tapestry ropes, dream catchers, Bohemian wedding decorations, bundling, packaging, jewelry-making, scrapbooks, handmade cards, drawstrings, gardening, home decorations and even Christmas decorations. 

Twisted Hemp Rope For the Environment

Hemp is considered a carbon-negative crop, in that it sequesters more CO2 than it generates per harvest cycle. Additionally, hemp generates more fiber per acre in less time and with less water, compared to cotton. Hemp is markedly less fastidious than cotton and can grow in a wider range of climates and soil types. The hemp plant’s fast growth and dense canopy serves as its own weed suppressor, eliminating the need for herbicides.

USDA Biobased Certified Macramé Cord

The increased development, purchase, and use of biobased products reduces our nation's reliance on petroleum, increases the use of renewable agricultural resources, and contributes to reducing adverse environmental and health impacts. Ravenox hemp ropes are tested and USDA certified as a biobased product. 

Responsibly Sourced Hemp For Twisted Macramé Cords

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 macramé cord 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 USA-MADE TWISTED HEMP MACRAME CORD IS AVAILABLE IN MULTIPLE DIAMETERS AND LENGTHS 

Please note that while our three-strand hemp rope is true to diameter on the spools, fibers may expand when the rope is cut to length and shipped. Some ropes may increase almost a whole size in diameter. If your application is dependent on a certain diameter, please consider ordering a smaller size than is needed.
