Highlights

A white smooth-finish cotton cord which has been pre-shrunk, it has a 16-plait braided outer layer and a 25-strand white cotton twine inner core.

The smooth appearance is ideal for use with lightweight fabrics as it gives a non-ribbed effect. Perfect for clothing and soft furnishing applications such as providing a core for covered edging on cushions and bolsters, tie backs, pelmets and other furnishings. Can be used for drawstring and anorak cords. Also, great for macrame and rope baskets.

Material Composition: 100% Cotton

Approximate size conversions for your reference:
Diameter: 5mm = 0.5cm = 3/16 inch
1 metre = 100cm = 39 inches = 3 foot 3 inches

1 quantity = 1 metre.
The price shown is for 1 metre, you can increase the length by increasing the quantity added to your basket, when ordering multiples I will try to supply this in one continuous length up to a maximum length of a full reel (in this case, 100mtr). If you require certain lengths please contact me.
*NB: Not supplied on a reel & not tied in a bow.

Please note that although great care has been taken to photograph the product in natural light and I have tried to recreate the colours and details as accurately as possible with minimal photo processing, there may be slight variances, this can also be due to the differences in screen and monitor settings.

Any lifestyle or group product photos are for illustration/inspiration purposes only. It’s also worth noting that the wooden “Plum Bowtique” bobbin which features in my product photos is only a photo prop and does not indicate that the items are supplied on a bobbin.
For reference, the bobbin is 69mm (2.75in) tall. It was hand painted especially for me by the fantastically talented Lisa at Polkadot Winslow.

I regularly update my processing and dispatch times on Etsy so these are usually accurate – please contact me if you have any concerns about meeting specific deadlines.
