Clara Premium has been over two years in development and testing. Without a doubt, this is the best rope we have ever had. It is destined to set a new standard being superior to any Japanese rope we have used so far.
The weight is 15.8g per meter.
Each of the three strands has 6 sub-plies/strands, each of 5 yarns twisted together. The reason for this construction is to create a super flexible, smooth, loose-laid rope that is also durable and forgiving of rough handling. With this rope, you'll get the best of both worlds, long life and optimum feel and handling.
It's sweet-smelling due to eco-friendly production methods and wet treating is entirely pointless as it is perfect right off the reel.

They seem ok. A bit loose, shift quite a bit and quite dusty.
Clara Premium 5.5mm Shibari ropes feel nice in the hands and work well enough for my purpose as a beginner. I finished the ends with string wrappings and noticed that after a few hours of use the three strands start to shift and no longer stay the same length. I have had to rewrap the ends a couple of times, and I am not sure if this is normal for this type of jute rope but it did surprise me. The ropes feel a bit loose and the strands separate more easily than I would prefer. They also create a fair amount of dust during use. Apart from that they seem nice and are good for learning. Maybe I am misunderstanding what to expect from these ropes but they are not quite as impressive as I had imagined. I have tied with many different jute ropes and expected these to stand out more. At this point I might even prefer polyester rope but I am still figuring out what works best for me.

My most favourite rope of choice.
I've been using 5.5mm Clara Premium jute not for possibly around a year. I was impressed straight away but the quality but at first I questioned the durability of it in regards to how long it'd last with how soft it was....... I had no reason to be concerned. After a year or more it's still as perfect as the day I got it. Actually, it's got better and better with age. I now only use 5.5mm Clara Premium for everything other than my main lines during suspension (even though I've done an at a pinch full suspension with it and had zero concerns about its strength, although I don't recommend doing so unless you're doing adequate ties for such rope) and I've vowed to myself to only ever use 5.5mm Clara Premium as my main rope. Highly recommend.

A good rope
Very light and soft. Indeed ready to use without any treatment. Slightly thinner than expected 5mm and not 5.5. Makes a difference. But otherwise good. I would recommend buying a sample length first, to check if suits your style. The ESINEM Rope team answers: Thank you for your opinion. We have corrected the diameter problem.
