Gently unwind the needed length and try to keep the ball from rolling freely while in use. Store the ball with the end tucked in to prevent unraveling.
String is not strong enough for a specific task.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: No setup is required for the cotton string balls. Simply unroll the desired length from the ball as needed.
Compatibility: This string is compatible with most standard craft tools, scissors, and garden ties. It is suitable for use in dry environments. Avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture as natural fibers can degrade over time.
Care: Store the string balls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity. As the string is biodegradable, it is not designed for long-term permanent outdoor use where it would be exposed to constant elements. Clean any dirt or debris by gently brushing it off; avoid washing as this can affect the fiber structure.
