FAQs

What is the primary material of this string?

The string is made from 100% natural cotton fibers.

Is this string suitable for outdoor use?

The product information specifies 'Item Package Quantity: 1', referring to one ball of string. Specific length is not provided but is generally substantial for numerous uses.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the loose end is properly secured to the ball when not in use. Unwind only the necessary length and cut cleanly.

Check if the string has been exposed to excessive moisture, which can weaken natural fibers. Store in a dry environment.
