Please see my post above, looking for a used 60m rope, 8mm or so, to use as a clothesline.

I've only retired two of my ropes and what I did with both of them was to cut them into about ten foot pieces and at one end tie a knot called a "Monkey's Fist"

It comes out looking like a ball on a string dog toy, or a foxtail for those who know the old toy. Really awesome and bombproof for dogs. I did that with both ropes and sold the ropes to friends I knew or gave them as gifts.

THAT is a really good idea! Can you post a picture of it?

This is a very small one, but you can make them a lot bigger.
