The polyester does the work, low stretch and abrasion resistance and UV resistance, and the cotton is there for the feel of it in the hand. Safe working load is 16 lb, which makes it a line for washing rather than for utility work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"gb-hl\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 lb. safe working load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow stretch, so the line does not sag under wet clothes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiamond braid holds its round shape and runs cleanly over a pulley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUV and weather resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyester for performance, cotton for the hand feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/16 in. diameter x 100 ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel 300001BGP04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"gb-acc\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eQuestions\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"gb-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much weight will it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKingCord publishes a 16 lb. safe working load, which is a full line of wet washing and not much more. It is a clothesline, not a utility rope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy cotton and polyester rather than one or the other?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePolyester does the work: low stretch so the line does not sag under wet clothes, good abrasion resistance, and it holds up to sunlight. The cotton is there for the hand feel, because this is a rope people touch every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it run over a pulley?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The diamond braid holds a round section rather than flattening, which is what lets it run smoothly rather than binding in the sheave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it sag?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFar less than a natural-fibre line. Low stretch is the property a clothesline is chosen for and it is why polyester is in the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I leave it up all year?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is UV and weather resistant, so yes.
