Sisal
Sisal rope is a natural rope. Langman Sisal Rope is made from a white, high-quality sisal yarn. This yarn is extracted from the agave plant. The construction is a standard 3-strand twisted rope. Sisal rope is available in thinner diameters, primarily used for cat scratching posts. Its rough texture makes it perfect for cats. A formal tug rope is a 4-strand twisted construction and also made of sisal. Because of its rough texture, sisal is also used as a packing and tying rope. Besides this, sisal rope can also be used for all kinds of decorative purposes.
