1. A method of making a shape-stranded rope, including:

  • providing a core with a sheathing of a deformable material;

    twisting round wires into strands by winding these round wires in at least one layer about said core with the sheathing of the deformable material;

    subjecting the strand thus formed to plastic drawing until each said round wire acquires a wedge-like profile, said plastic drawing forcing the wires adjoining the sheathing of said core to become partly embedded in this sheathing, and the strand attains a substantially smooth peripheral surface;

    following said plastic drawing, compacting the strand thus obtained into a shaped profile, said compacting of the strand into the shaped profile is effected until some of the wires embedded in said sheathing engage said core; and

    twisting the strands thus obtained into the rope.
