This SolaDirect Premium Macrame Cord in Anthracite Grey is ideal for DIY craft enthusiasts looking to create elegant home decor. Its key benefit is the luxurious thickness and natural cotton material, offering durability and a soft texture for intricate designs. A minor consideration is its fixed length of 20 meters, which may require joining for larger projects. This cord is made from 100% natural cotton, eco-friendly, and perfect for macrame wall hangings, plant hangers, gift wrapping, and more.

The SolaDirect Premium Macrame Cord has a diameter of 3 mm.
Each spool contains 20 meters of macrame cord.
While the natural cotton is durable, prolonged exposure to outdoor elements like moisture and UV rays can degrade the fibers over time. It is best suited for indoor projects or those displayed in sheltered outdoor areas.
As it is made from 100% natural cotton, it can be dyed. However, the Anthracite Grey color is already quite deep, and achieving lighter colors or bright whites after dyeing might be difficult without stripping the original dye first.
It is ideal for a wide range of macrame projects including wall hangings, plant hangers, coasters, placemats, tote bags, and decorative items. It's also great for gift wrapping and general crafting.
Store the cord in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep it loosely wound to avoid permanent creases and protect it from dust.
The cord itself is not intended to be washed. If you are making an item like a macrame bag or placemat, spot cleaning is the recommended method for care.
Unspool slowly and work with manageable lengths. Store the remaining cord loosely wound and secured to prevent unraveling.
Use very sharp scissors or a craft knife for clean cuts. You can also seal the ends with a small amount of fabric glue or by carefully melting (for synthetic blends, but this is 100% cotton, so avoid direct flame).
Ensure consistent tension while knotting. Practice different knots with smaller samples before starting a large project. Gently brush or comb the finished piece to even out fibers.
Setup:
Unspool the cord gently from the spool, taking care not to create unnecessary tangles. For cutting, use sharp scissors or a craft knife to ensure clean edges.
Compatibility:
This cord is compatible with all standard macrame techniques and tools. It works well with various beads, charms, and other embellishments suitable for fiber crafts.
Care:
Store the macrame cord in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and integrity. Keep it loosely wound or in a breathable bag to prevent excessive creasing or dust.
Cleaning Finished Projects:
For items made with this cord, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can alter the texture and shape of the macrame pieces.
