What ever happened to cotton rope and where can I find some?
Many of the uses for cotton rope are being handled admirably by synthetic ropes. Still it is the rope of choice for magicians and horseman, so you might try their shops. Magicians remove the core of cotton braid to facilitate sliding knots. Cotton rope is less likely to “burn” when pulled through the hands and prevents rope burns if a horse should get tangled when tied. It also makes a spiffy dog chew.
