Uh, yeah, well, if you've priced silk rope lately I think I would rather spend the money importing (albeit slightly illegally) natural hemp rope instead. Sisal, Jute and Yucca are a far cry from how well hemp does. But if you gotta use something easy to get your hands on, I guess sisal rope is fair.
