Twine and/or Hemp

I prefer a natural look to my cages, so I try to avoid any plastic/metal. I'm making a swing for my gouldians that I think they'll really like, but I need a way to hang it. I'm think about using either twine or hemp pieces to tie it to the ceiling so it can physically swing.

Are these materials safe for finches? I'm pretty sure I have both lying around my house.

I have used twine to hang small grapevine wreaths in cages as swings, never had a problem with it.

I use clothes line rope in my cage and the finches love it I have it tied from one side of cage to other side about 27"across,it's tied loose and swings when they land on it they all go on it
