Lore, though, is just another, perhaps slightly more archaic, word for knowledge.
Sam's rope was probably made by Galadriel herself. It probably had the same kind of 'elf magic' assosiated with it as the Mirror. Tolkien, to my knowledge, never really explained how such magic worked. It's left a mystery - in my opinnion rightly so.
