Although I always want folks to buy the finished project from me, I do frequently cross paths with the DIY-er (who wil be doing this herself regardless of what I want!). I agree with your concern about manila rope. It is heavily oiled & frequently stinks up the place. Googling 3/8 Brazilian sisal rope will produce results on where to find this preferred material.

My only concern would be how heavily it's oiled. If it smells fumy, I'd let it air out somewhere dry with good air circulation until it's not smelly. Manilla rope looks fine.
