The Yellow Gibbon

Updated: Apr 5

I gave this rope its name by conflating the song titles "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree" by Irvine Levin and L. Russell Brown and "The Funky Gibbon" by The Goodies.


Tie a funky gibbon... OO-OO-OO!
Tie a funky gibbon... OO-OO-OO!

This Flow Rope is a gift to my wife, she loves yellow and hopefully values gibbons too?


It was made by The Rope Company. Their Flow Ropes are hand finished, with the rope tails back-spliced and whipped over with binding for comfort and longevity.


They are the lowest price I have come across - April 2025.


They come in red, yellow, black and navy, but not in both sizes:


12mm diameter / 350cm overalll length / 410g / 0.9 lbs

14mm diameter / 360cm overalll length / 550g / 1.2 lbs


This is their website: www.ropecompany.co.uk

Colourful Whippings

One way of finishing a polyester rope once it has been cut with an heat knife is to use whippings to stop the ends from fraying.
