Manilla rope

General

Manilla twine is manufactured from fibres from the abaca plant. This twine has long been used in shipping. It is much valued as a natural twine, as it produces a lighter and stronger twine than the alternatives. Manilla rope is naturally oily, which prolongs its life and makes it a good choice for use in wet conditions. Manilla is a fire-retardant product.

Nowadays, manila is often used for the rigging of classic vessels. It is also often used as towing rope and decorative rope.
