Hemp is pretty darn tough....if you don’t tweak it around when to take it out
and let it reacclimatize for the recommend 24 hours it should be fine. I would
freeze it. JTV

Hello Everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on some rope which may need freezing, the rope is
from a collection from the early 20th century, and seems to have a number of
pests present in the rope (species to be determined), I just wondered if anyone
has any experience of freezing rope items? Are there any potential risks when
freezing hemp rope?
Best
