Can you identify this rope?

[Praxinoscope]

The Genoa sheets on my new boat are a rope I'm not familiar with, attached is a photo of it, it is 10mm very light weight and very soft to handle. As I would like to order up some for my cruising shute I'm hoping to find what it is and who supplies it.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Looks like hollow braid rope, I think it's available in a variety of materials.

Hi folks

Thanks for your replies, it looks very much like the braid used by Ikanine.co so have contacted them.

The down side of PP rope is that it generally does not resist UV well and becomes high-friction after a few years. It only stays nice if you replace it often. This is why it is not popular for general use.
