it should be
easy to see what you are doing
easy to handle what you see

so
thick and supple
bright or light colored
soft and slick rope

hemp rope can be high quality soft and easy yo handle

but what is called "hemp" by many
is usually manila or sisal and that is a different tool (can be good)

for learning and teaching
cotton or polyester braided ropes are good (between 6 and 12 mm?)

many ropes can fit your needs
look around in a shop, try and feel what it is like
the material is not at all important
the way it is constructed / manufactured, that matters

any rope will do, only cheap monofilament polyethylene ropes are
hopeless, when thinner than 2 inches in diameter

knotting like hemp,
