<P> Rope splicing in ropework is the forming of a semi-permanent joint between two ropes or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands . Splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line , to form a loop or an eye in a rope , or for joining two ropes together . Splices are preferred to knotted rope , since while a knot typically reduces the strength by 20 -- 40 % , a splice is capable of attaining a rope 's full strength . However , splicing usually results in a thickening of the line and , if subsequently removed , leaves a distortion of the rope . Most types of splices are used on 3 - strand rope , but some can be done on 12 - strand or greater single - braided rope , as well as most double braids . While a spliced 3 - strand rope 's strands are interwoven to create the splice , a braided rope 's splice is constructed by simply pulling the rope into its jacket . </P>
