FAQs

What type of projects is this cord best suited for?

This 2mm thick cotton cord is excellent for macrame wall hangings, plant hangers, baskets, rugs, and other durable home decor items where strength is important.

Is this cord suitable for outdoor use?

While made from natural cotton, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture can degrade the fibers and affect the color. It is best suited for indoor projects or decorative outdoor pieces that are protected from the elements.

How do I keep the cord from unraveling when I cut it?

Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for a clean cut. You can also lightly melt the very end with a lighter for a moment to seal it, or apply a small amount of fabric glue.

Can I dye this cord a different color?

As it is made from natural cotton, it can potentially be dyed. However, results may vary, and the existing green color might affect the final hue. It's recommended to test on a small sample first.

What does 'premium quality' mean for this cord?

'Premium quality' refers to the meticulous crafting process, the use of 100% natural cotton, and the resulting soft yet strong texture that ensures durability and ease of use in crafting.

How much cord is on one spool?

Each spool contains 20 meters (approximately 65 feet) of macrame cord.

Is this cord safe for children's crafts?

Yes, the cord is made from 100% natural cotton and is free from harmful chemicals, making it a safe choice for various crafting projects, including those involving children.

Troubleshooting

Cord tangles easily.

Store the cord on its spool when not in use. When unspooling, do so slowly and deliberately. If a tangle occurs, gently work it out from the ends, rather than forcing it.

Edges fray when cut.

Ensure you are using very sharp scissors or a craft knife. For a clean finish on ends, you can lightly singe the very tip with a lighter (test on a scrap piece first) or use a strong fabric glue.

Color appears slightly different from image.

Color variations can occur due to differences in monitor settings and the natural dyeing process of cotton. This is a normal characteristic of natural fiber products.

Finished project feels too stiff.

This is normal for thicker cotton cord. The stiffness provides durability. With use and gentle handling, the cord will soften slightly over time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Made from 100% natural and biodegradable cotton.
  • The 2mm thickness provides excellent strength and durability for robust projects.
  • Soft texture is comfortable to work with for extended crafting sessions.
  • The green color offers a unique aesthetic option for creative designs.
  • Sufficient length (20m) for multiple or larger projects.

Cons

  • The 2mm thickness might be too bulky for very delicate or fine detailed work.
  • As a natural fiber, it may be susceptible to fraying if cut with a dull tool.
  • Color may vary slightly between dye lots due to natural material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This macrame cord comes ready to use directly off the spool. For best results, it is recommended to store the cord on its spool to prevent tangling. When starting a project, gently unspool the desired length, being careful not to snag or pull too hard to avoid premature fraying.

Compatibility:

  • Projects: Ideal for macrame, knitting, crochet, weaving, general crafting, and gift wrapping.
  • Tools: Compatible with standard macrame tools such as scissors, measuring tape, and dowel rods. For cutting, use sharp scissors or a craft knife to ensure a clean edge.

Care:

  • Cleaning Finished Projects: Most macrame items made with this cord can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For more thorough cleaning, hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can alter the texture and shape.
  • Cord Storage: Store unused cord in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its natural quality and color. Keep it on the spool or loosely coiled to prevent kinks and tangles.
