How to choose shibari ropes of different materials.

If you are a beginner and unsure how to select a rope that suits you, or if you are unfamiliar with how to use ropes of different materials, let me guide you through it.
6mm jute rope
Jute rope is the traditional rope for shibari. Fully-treated jute rope is soft but still retains its bite! Its a good choice for people who like a more comfortable Jute rope. For those who prefer a rope with more of a bite and more crunch, dry-treated is a perfect choice. Some people find jute a little scratchy - depending on the person this can be a positive or a negative! Jute rope often leaves rope marks on the skin.
