Best source for period Rope?

[deovindice11]

What is the best source for period-correct rope? I'm looking for some that would be about the thickness you would use on a shelter tent. Any leads?

Thanks,

Roy Najecki is an 18th Century sutler, but he sells hemp rope in various weights and thicknesses.

Irish linen rope is also available on eBay.

Pssst. This place in Seattle sells good hemp : https://www.hempfest.org/shop-hempfe...-5mm-120-feet/ I bought some. Fine product.

Just don't look at the site from a work computer.

Thanks for those sources it looks they all have something that will work. As far as thickness, what would be standard thickness for a shelter tent?
