So I bought a polyester rope (I think), which has a twisted 7-strand woolly core covered by a hair-like weaving.
The problem I'm facing with it is that, when cut, the rope frays a lot.
I tried to melt it, but instead the core burns turning into ash.
I tried to splice it, but it's horrible. The core isn't braided and I have no idea how to do it with the 'fancy' seven strands.
The outermost layer keeps on sliding and, furthermore, I think the wool kinda looks ugly and irritating.
Right now, I'm keeping it in place with simple stopper knots.
What do you guys recommend?
