-'''Ropes''' are created at the [[clothier's shop]] with one [[cloth]], using the [[clothier]] [[skill]].
-Ropes are not actually a distinct item type - they are merely what [[chain]]s are called when they are made of cloth. They are both listed under the 'chains' heading in the z-stocks menu, are stored in finished goods [[stockpile]]s, and are generally interchangeable.
-They are used to make [[Traction_bench|traction benches]], build [[well]]s, [[restraint]]s and [[minecart]] rollers.
-Taking a rope with you at embark lets you construct a well more quickly. While usually it's much cheaper to take raw materials and produce ready goods after embark, [[item value]] of a rope is 20 vs. 12 of the [[thread]]. The dwarves will not enjoy using a base quality item as much, but cost-wise it matters 3 times less than the mechanism.
