Best Answer

There are several natural fibres that are used to make rope. Hemp for hawsers and small stuff, sisal for heaving lines, linen, cotton, coir, and straw. Also jute for its ability to float on the water. Also manila for hawsers and small stuff. More often you'll likely see more synthetics like nylon, polypropylene, and polyester ropes.
