This one is dyed by hand, so the lilac deepens and lifts along its length and the cream core shows through in places. \u003cstrong\u003eEvery rope is its own pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the one you receive will not match the photograph inch for inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Rope Under The Color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the dye it is \u003cstrong\u003e100 percent cotton, woven by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is why it sits soft in the palm from the first walk instead of holding a stiff coil. The working end is \u003cstrong\u003espliced and whipped\u003c\/strong\u003e, the strands turned back into the rope and bound with thread, rather than sealed in a glued sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHardware You Do Not Replace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trigger snap and the accessory ring are \u003cstrong\u003esolid brass\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is no plating to wear off the pivot, which is where plated snaps always fail, so the hardware outlasts the rope.
