Frequently Asked Questions
Product
What is it made of? Why not cheaper cord?
Recycled cotton, REACH certified, with no dyes or treatment.
It's braided around a hollow core, so the structure is tighter, the surface smoother and knots sit flush and even. Braided cord also doesn't fray into fringe, so finished pieces keep a clean, sharp edge. A customer: “I never worked with 'hollow' braided cord before and I can not find it anywhere else” (Michele B.).
Will it fray, shed or let knots slip?
Braided cord doesn't fray into fringe: it keeps a clean, no-fringe finish with a strong hold. Customers say it “holds its shape very well” (Michele B.).
Hollow braided cord is flexible enough to shape but holds its form once tightened, so knots sit flush and even. Pull each knot firm. Customers say knots turn out “perfect and crisp” (Molly B.).
Can I wash it? How do I care for it?
We don't recommend washing this cord. Instead, a soft brush, lint roller or gentle shake is usually all a finished piece needs.
Store unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which yellows and weakens cotton over time.
Is the colour consistent?
This cord is natural undyed recycled cotton. Recycled cotton can show minor colour variation between production lots, so for large uniform projects buy all the cord you need in one order.

Using it
How many rolls do I need?
1 roll = 2–3 beginner projects. This cord comes in 3mm × 300m and 4mm × 220m.
As a guide, a single plant hanger takes about 30–60 m of 4mm cord and a small wall hanging about 50–100 m of 3mm (approximate; patterns vary).
Which size should I pick?
3mm × 300m gives a finer, more delicate look and more cord per roll. 4mm × 220m gives a chunkier, bolder look, and knots stand out more.
Both work for any project. Pick the look you love.
What can I make with it?
Wall hangings, plant hangers, coasters and beginner projects, plus bags in 4mm.
Is it beginner-friendly? Is it stiff?
Yes for structured projects. Nicole's braided plant hanger is rated Beginner to lower-intermediate, and the spec lists beginner projects. Braided is smoother and firmer than single-strand, which is what gives clean, sharp knots; a customer calls it “soft on hands and easy to work with” (Dianna K.).
Braided vs single-strand or 3-ply?
Single-strand brushes out into fluffy fringe; 3-ply is firm and structured; braided gives smooth, very clean and sharp knot edges, less stretch, and no fringe.
If you want fluffy fringe, choose single-strand instead: braided won't brush out.
