Description
Bulk Macrame Cord, also called macrame string, is a soft single strand cord made in the USA from 100% natural cotton, in single or triple twist. Many fine threads are twisted into one very soft, flexible, easy to use string that makes great knots, in an undyed, unbleached cream that's ready to dye. It's used for wall hangings, macrame, fiber art, and arts and crafts, and it's generally safe for pets and birds. Many cotton cords are blended with polypropylene, acrylic or polyester, while ours is pure cotton. For larger sizes in the same cotton, see Cotton Rope.
- Sold by weight, wound on tubes or cones
- Sized after unwinding, so it looks thinner on the tube
- Made in the USA
- Made for indoor use, since cotton can rot or mildew outdoors
- Shrinks when wet, and can be washed if needed
Questions
About the cord
How is it sold?
By weight. It comes tightly wound on cardboard tubes or cones.
Why does the cord look thinner on the tube?
It’s wound tightly, so it looks smaller. It loosens and expands as it comes off the tube. The diameter we list is the expanded size, measured after it’s unwound.
How do I match the size I use now?
Compare feet per pound. Choose our diameter with the closest number of feet per pound.
Is it pure cotton?
Yes. It’s 100% cotton. Many industrial cotton ropes are blended with polypropylene, acrylic or polyester. Blends are stronger, but we find pure cotton suits our customers better.
Do you have other cotton cord?
Yes. We also sell 3 Strand Twisted Cotton Rope and Solid Braid Cotton Rope.
