The size of synthetic fibers used in nautical ropes can vary widely depending on the material and manufacturer. However, the diameter of individual synthetic fibers typically ranges from micrometers (1,000 nanometers = 1 micrometer) to tens or hundreds of micrometers, depending on the specific type of synthetic fiber and its intended use in rope-making.
The average eye of a needle typically ranges in size from about 300 to 800 nanometers in diameter, depending on the needle's gauge or size. This can vary slightly based on the needle's purpose and manufacturing specifics, but generally, it's within this nanometer range.
While at first blush it may seem impossible to thread the nautical rope through one strand at a time one must consider that a method to achieve this delicate task using specialized tools like a needle threader or a microscope-guided threading technique is feasible.
These tools can help manipulate and guide the 10-micrometer strand through the 800-nanometer eye of the needle with precision and accuracy.
But you may still be wondering how so allow me to elaborate…
Generally, nylon is known for its high elasticity, with a stretch capacity ranging from 10% to 40% or more of its original length before breaking, making it a popular choice for ropes requiring flexibility and shock absorption.
I propose a slow and steady heated and compressed stretch wins this race nine times out of ten.
