Picoggo Soft Cotton Rope

Soft white cotton, 8 mm, for simple decorative ties only. Rope work beyond that needs instruction.

Soft cotton rope is the beginner material for simple ties. This book does not teach knots or restraint technique, and it does not present rope as a casual beginner activity: anything beyond a loose, easily undone tie requires qualified instruction.

Who may find it useful

  • · Couples who have done the reading and want a soft material for simple ties
  • · People who prefer natural fibre against skin

Who may prefer another category

  • · Complete beginners, who should start with a quick-release set
  • · Anyone who has not sought instruction for anything beyond a loose tie

This is a plain soft cotton rope sold for general tying and decoration, which is exactly what a beginner should have: soft, washable, inexpensive, and easy to cut. Keep safety scissors beside it.

Questions to check before purchasing

  1. Is it soft braided cotton?
