Rope, ¼” silk, per ft (225 lb cap.)

Silk rope is spun from the continuous filament of cocoon fibers, twisted tight and smooth. Far lighter and stronger than hemp, it resists rot and moves freely through a carabiner or pulley, making it prized by climbers, riggers, and thieves who spare no coin for advantage. A single hand-span of silk holds a man’s full weight with room to spare, though the knots that secure it must be set with care.
