I start by tying on the yarn to the product I am wrapping. -
![]()
Then I begin to tie knots one at a time. I usually watch tv for a couple of hours while I work on each product. -
![]()
Then voila! The whole item is covered in yarn. I leave tails for the finishing touch. -
![]()
To finish off the order I carefully weave all the tails back in. No adhesives required! -

Ta da! I have a finished product ready to ship out to my next lucky customer. Thanks guys!
Cordinated - Because boring things can be colorful.
I knit. A lot. Which means I had gathered hoards of yarn and it was sitting, waiting to be used to it's full potential.
I play bass. A lot. Which means I deal with a lot of boring black equipment, which gets tangled and dirty. It reminds me of monster trucks.
One day, while I was probably half asleep, I was struck by a lightening bolt of an idea. Why don't I mash these two objects together? Surely others are tired of a tangled dark mass of connectors. Surely they would like their equipment to match their sound or listening preferences.
So I just did it. (Thanks Nike)
Cordinated exists to promote fun and happiness through typical everyday items. Our products exist because we were bored, we were frustrated and we needed a way to simplify and express our musical selves.

FAQ:
WHAT IS A CORDINATED CABLE?
A Cordinated Cable is a mono instrument cable/cord (we use the words cable and cord interchangeably) that is needed for any type of electric instrument. They are used to plug an instrument into most amplification or recording devices. Cordinated instrument cables are our unique and modern take on the vintage cloth cables from the 50s and 60s. They are hand soldered for assurance of a good quality electronic connection and meticulously hand wrapped to make them attractive to play with on stage or at home.
WILL IT WORK WITH MY SON/BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND/NEPHEW/GIRLFRIEND/DAD/ETC's GUITAR/BASS/KEYBOARD/ETC?
YES! If you are buying a Cordinated cable as a gift and do not have experience with electronic instruments, let us assure you that it will work with any Electric Guitar, Electric Bass Guitar, Electric Keyboard or Synthesizer, or any other Electric Instrument that has a 1/4" connector on it. If you are still not sure please convo us, we are both musicians and have a lot of experience with these types of things :) Or send an email to cordinated @ gmail.com.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASSIC AND TOP NOTCH CORDINATED CABLES?
CLASSIC Cordinated Cables are made using industry standard cord stock and 1/4" plugs similar to what can be purchased at your local music store (except much more aesthetically pleasing of course!). They offer the quality that is to be expected from an instrument cable, and are great for regular usage and sound quality. In addition they go beyond what is available from other sources because they are hand soldered and tested by Dan the engineer to lower the potential for loose connections and breakage.
TOP NOTCH Cordinated Cables are our boutique line of cables that offer superior sound quality due to highly shielded and low capacitance cable stock. This super high quality cable stock offers a virtually noise-free sound that is to be expected from a top of the line cable. These are great for studio usage and for the audiophile who appreciates cables that can let their best tone shine through. These cables are hand soldered to Neutrik X-Series 1/4" plugs and each one is tested by Dan the engineer extraordinaire. Dan loves to talk about specs! If you want to know the nitty gritty and nerdy details about our cables he can tell you. Send us a convo or email!
WHAT IS A PATCH CABLE?
A patch cable is the same as an instrument cable but is a much shorter length. These cables are mostly used to chain effects pedals together for a guitar player or in the studio with recording equipment that only needs a short connection. All of our eco patch cables are HOSA brand and are NOT hand soldered. All of our 1ft cables can be used as patch cables and ARE hand soldered. And like all of our cables, they are wrapped in yarn for easy identification. You'll never lose these!
CAN I GET A CUSTOM LENGTH OR COLOR?
