combine traditional techniques with contemporary ideas to produce rope accessories for the home and garden, gallery projects and commissioned work.
We use the best materials available; high grade natural plant fibre ropes - hemp, cotton, flax and manila, and some good quality synthetic ropes, such as spun polyester.
Ropes, cords and twines are skilfully knotted, woven, netted and sewn by hand, incorporating many of the traditional sailor's knots and whippings such as The Monkey Fist, Star Knots, Manrope Knots and the Turks Head Weave.
began trading in Cornwall, in the South West of England, UK in 1994, making and selling original and decorative rope-work through a number of local outlets, via trade fairs and at shows nationwide.
Since then, and thanks to our websites and the marketing opportunities brought about by the internet, the business has grown by leaps and bounds.
Stonk Knots has evolved, and we now also maintain a successful online mail order outlet which specialises in Stair Rope and hand rail design and manufacture at StairRopes.com
