Rope is an item used for many things, such as quests and the creation of certain items. It can be obtained by purchasing at a shop, trading with Ned in exchange for 4 balls of wool, or by a player spinning yak hair on a spinning wheel.
The best store to buy rope, without requirements, is at Ned's shop in Draynor Village. However, you can get a full inventory of rope for free from the Tempoross minigame in the ropes container. A convenient place to get rope is in the Ardougne general store (helpful for those doing the Waterfall Quest and Plague City) where there is a stock of 20, but Martin Thwait's Lost and Found at Rogues' Den is a far better option since it stocks 50 and is next to a bank (although it requires 50 Thieving and 50 Agility to access his shop). Khazard General Store is also within close proximity of a bank.

Trivia
- Neitiznot supplies rope made from yak hair to all of the rope traders in Gielinor.
- Ned leads you to believe that he makes rope from wool. During The Fremennik Isles quest, however, you discover that Ned trades with the Fremennik in Neitiznot, exchanging the wool he receives for rope. The Fremennik are amused that you would believe sturdy rope could be made from something as flimsy as wool rather than tough yak hair.
- After The Fremennik Isles quest, if you buy a rope from Ned, your character will notice that it smells strange, and if you continue through the dialogue, Ned will give you a second rope for free, as a payment for your silence.
