Hi, I am Janette,
I create nautical rope decor in the beautiful historic port of Falmouth, Cornwall.
With traditional marine skills using natural and modern ropes, I love to use traditional sailors knots to create a modern home style.
They look great in a coastal cottage, beach house or in a Scandi or rustic room.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like a knotted item slightly different to what you see here.
I usually have a turnaround of 2 to 3 days, depending on weekends and public holidays. I will let you know when you place your order, the day I intend to post your knotted item.
Let me know if you have to have your knotted item for a particular day
I only use recycled cardboard and wrapping paper as my packaging.
Deliveries may be affected by recent industrial action by the Royal Mail, this will have a knock on affect on other courier companies too.
This means I cannot guarantee delivery times.

Frequently asked questions
Jute Rope Care instructions
Being a natural plant fibre, Jute is affected by its environment. It will shrink in damp or wet conditions and loosen in dry.
Constant damp can cause mildew to form on jute, so use and store in a dry place.
Jute is best kept clean by vacuuming. If necessary, wipe with a damp sponge or cloth with clean water.
Mats should be carefully flattened and left to dry naturally.
Baskets can be gently reshaped by pushing a small bowl or container into the base, again leave to dry naturally.
Not machine washable, and do not dry artificially.
Poly Hemp Care instructions
Poly Hemp (Hempex) and Polyester
These synthetic ropes are easy to care for, they are not affected by environmental conditions. The melting point of these ropes is about 80°c.
You can keep them clean with regular vacuuming.
If they need washing, it is still best to wash them gently by hand to help keep the shape of the knot.
Use a mild soap and rinse well. Then leave to air dry naturally.
If it is a mat, reshape gently and lie it flat to dry.
Bowls and baskets can be re-shaped by pressing a ball or bowl inside and patting the sides around, again leave to dry naturally.
