FAQs
What is the cord made of?
The cord is made of high-quality cotton.
Can I dye the cord?
Yes, you can dye the cotton cord. However, test a small piece first to ensure you achieve the desired color.
How do I prevent the cord from unraveling?
You can prevent unraveling by knotting the ends, applying fabric glue, or using a heat-sealing method like a lighter (use with caution).
Is the color fade-resistant?
While the color is designed to be durable, excessive exposure to sunlight or harsh washing can cause fading. Follow the care instructions to maximize color retention.
Can I use this cord for outdoor projects?
The cord is best suited for indoor use and projects that are not constantly exposed to the elements. Prolonged outdoor use may cause the color to fade or the cord to degrade.
What needle size should I use for sewing?
Use a needle size appropriate for the fabric you are sewing the cord onto. A universal needle size 70/10 or 80/12 is often suitable.
Troubleshooting
Cord is fraying at the ends.
Apply fabric glue or use a knot to prevent fraying. Alternatively, singe the ends carefully with a lighter, being cautious not to damage the cord.
Color bleeding during washing.
Wash the cord separately or with similar colors. Use cold water and mild detergent. Add a color fixative to the wash to prevent further bleeding.
