Product Information

Full details

The Berisfords Barley Twist Rope is designed for crafters and sewing enthusiasts looking for a durable, high-quality cord to finish garments, bags, or decorative projects. Its primary benefit is a specialized weave that prevents unraveling when cut, making it significantly easier to manage than traditional braided cords. While it offers a sophisticated pearly finish and high utility, users should note that the 5mm diameter is fixed, which may be too thick for delicate heirloom sewing or fine button loops.

FAQs

Does this cord fray when cut?

No, the Berisfords Barley Twist Rope is specifically designed not to unravel when cut, unlike standard braided cords.

What is the diameter of this cord?

This specific cord is 5mm in diameter.

How much rope is included in one pack?

Each spool contains 20 meters of cord.

Can this be used for outdoor projects?

While it is durable, it is intended primarily for haberdashery and craft projects. Prolonged exposure to extreme weather may affect the finish.

Is the navy color colorfast?

The dye is high quality, but as with all colored trims, avoid prolonged soaking to prevent potential dye transfer.

Troubleshooting

Cord is too thick for my casing

Ensure your fabric casing is at least 8mm to 10mm wide to allow the 5mm cord to slide smoothly.

Ends look slightly frayed after heavy wear

You can lightly trim the very edge with sharp scissors or apply a tiny amount of clear fabric glue to the tip to secure the fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • May be too stiff for very fine fabric projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your project, consider these guidelines for working with your Barley Twist Rope:

  • Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors to get a clean edge. Despite the anti-unravel weave, a clean cut remains best practice.
  • Compatibility: The 5mm thickness is ideal for medium to heavy-weight fabrics like canvas, denim, or felt. Always test your grommet or eyelet size before installation to ensure the cord passes through freely.
  • Care: Spot clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Because of the pearly finish, avoid using harsh industrial chemicals or high-heat irons directly on the cord, as this may dull the sheen.
