Frequently Asked Questions
Product and Materials
-
EcoLSD Flow Ropes are handcrafted from sustainably sourced hemp. Hemp is durable, renewable, and offers natural tactile feedback that supports timing, coordination, and embodiment.
-
Hemp offers firmer feedback, better grip, and a grounded feel compared to slick synthetics. It doesn’t stretch, it softens with use, and it aligns with our focus on natural materials and sustainable design.
-
Hemp doesn’t stretch like nylon or polyester. It may soften and relax slightly with use, improving responsiveness without losing structure.
Sizing and Fit
-
Stand on the center of the rope with one foot. Pull both ends upward—ideal length lands between your belly button and sternum.
If unsure, we’ll recommend a length based on height and practice style. -
Standard length is 8 ft. Custom options include 7 ft, 7.5 ft, 8.5 ft, and 9 ft, plus an “Email for custom length” option for anything not listed.
-
Rough starting points:
Under 5'4" → 7–7.5 ft
5'4"–6’ → 8 ft (standard)
6’+ → 8.5–9 ft
Personal preference and flow style matter—strength, wraps, and tempo can shift ideal length.Ropes can also be knotted to shorten length.
