FAQs
Can this cord be used for heavy-duty outdoor decor?
It is designed primarily for indoor decorative crafting. Prolonged exposure to moisture and UV rays may degrade the material.
Is the red color likely to run when wet?
Because it is hand-wash only, avoid soaking for extended periods. Use cool water to minimize the risk of color transfer.
How many plant hangers can I make with 50m?
Depending on the complexity and design of your hangers, you can typically produce 2 to 4 standard-sized plant pot holders.
Can I use this for crochet or knitting?
While intended for macramé, the 4mm thickness is compatible with large-hook crochet or oversized knitting projects.
Does the cord stretch significantly?
The cord is designed for structural stability, so it exhibits minimal stretch, which is ideal for hanging projects.
Troubleshooting
Cord fraying at the ends after cutting
Apply a small amount of clear fabric glue or wrap the end tightly with masking tape to keep the fibers together.
Knots looking uneven or loose
Ensure consistent tension throughout your knotting process and use a dowel or hook to keep your base structure stable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with this cord requires only a sharp pair of fabric shears and your chosen workspace. When cutting, leave an extra 5-10cm to account for the knotting process. As this cord is hand-wash only, treat finished items with care; if a piece becomes soiled, gently submerge it in lukewarm water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and lay it flat to air dry. Avoid wringing or scrubbing, as this can distort the texture and color intensity.
