Uncoiling a rope (badly) 21-Dec-2010 At 8:50:50 PM hargs

... and back to the question ... you can get most of the twists out of your rope without dragging it around a paddock. Back in your flat, flake the rope out on the floor, then start at one end, flaking it into another pile, paying attention to the twist as you go. You'll find the twist starts accumulating in the original pile until it makes it impossible to flake into the new pile without twist. Before that happens, stop, and working back towards the other end of the rope, whip big sections of rope as you go. When you've worked the excess twist all the way to the far end end, go back to where you were, and start flaking into the rope into the new pile again. My wife loves it when I do this while she's watching television. You might have to perform this operation several times. It may or may not work well, but it's a good excuse to play with your new rope.
