Jute rope is a great material for outdoor projects. It’s durable, strong and easy to work with. But if you want to use jute rope for indoor projects too, it might need some straightening first.

Can you straighten jute rope?

Yes, you can straighten jute rope. Jute is a natural fiber that can be easily manipulated with a little heat and moisture. You’re probably familiar with how to straighten nylon rope, but this technique works just as well for jute.

Step 1: Get a piece of wood, any kind will do, as long as it is flat and stable

In order to straighten jute rope, you will need a piece of wood. Any kind will do, as long as it is flat and stable. Wooden boards work well for this project. If you don’t have any wooden boards handy, a flat plank of wood or even plywood would work well too.

Step 2: Run the wet jute rope over the length of the wood

Using a large bucket, fill it with water and place the jute rope in it. The rope will absorb some of the water and become more malleable. With your hands, rub the wet rope over the length of your wood plank until all of its natural curves have been straightened out.

After you’ve removed your wet jute rope from your wood plank, set it out to dry for at least 24 hours before continuing with any other steps in this process.

Step 3: Repeat until the rope is dry

Once you have completed the first step, repeat the process until the rope is dry. It takes time to dry, so make sure not to rush through this step—if you do it too much or too quickly, you can damage your rope. If you want to speed up the drying process, hang your rope in a warm, dry place where air can circulate around it. You can also use an electric fan if you don’t have access to any other options.

Step 4: Remove from the wood once dry

Once the rope has dried, you can remove it from the wood using a towel. The towel should be damp and not wet. If you’re working with jute, which is a natural fiber, then keep in mind that if left wet for too long it will start to swell and become softer. To help speed up the drying process, use a hair dryer on low heat to gently blow air over the rope while removing it from your drying surface (such as a cardboard box).

If you’re working with manila or other synthetic rope instead of jute or hemp rope, then it’s important to make sure that you don’t overheat your work surface because these types of ropes can melt at high temperatures

Step 5: Straighten your jute rope without the use of chemicals or heat

You can also use a piece of wood to straighten your jute rope. The way you do this is by tying the end of the rope onto one end of the wooden pole, then wrapping it around multiple times until there are no gaps between the coils. After doing this, tie another piece of rope around each coil in order to secure it in place. For added support and stability, place some heavy objects on top of the coils and leave them there overnight so that they have time to dry out before removing them from their makeshift mold. Once complete, remove all knots from your newly-designed shape before using it for whatever purpose you’d like!
