This depends upon the type of rope, it may be of three types - a neutral lay, right hand lay, and left hand lay. This describes how the rope is built up from its smaller parts. For a neutral lay rope, which is common for many braided ropes, you can coil the rope without any special technique and it will coil properly. Stranded ropes, where you can see the diagonal lines, called contlines, along the rope require a technique or they will kink. As you create the coil lopps, whether on your arm or on a post, you must alternate every other loop with a twist. That is, make one clean loop, and the next loop requires you to put a twist to right or left, depending on the rope lay, as you place the 2nd loop. This is continued until the rope is fully coiled.

What is coiled rope wrapped in?

The coil is finished by winding the rope tightly round the coil - with a finger (or your hand for large ropes) still inside the coil to maintain the lay of the turns. These turns start away from the end and work upwards towards your hand Finally, a bight is passed through the coil where your fingers were. The bight is spread out and tightened around the coil to preserve this lay until you need to use the rope. Note: The wrapping turns do introduce twists into the rope. Check lupacking.com. However, because only a short end is involved these twists are easily shaken out.
