WAXED COTTON

Waxed cotton cord is a leather cord substitute.  Waxed cotton is a cloth covering over a clear nylon line. Waxed cotton is much stronger than leather, and some say lasts longer than leather.  You can get it wet.   It is great for use with pendants.  The 'color-fast cord' colors will not run.

We carry Indian and Japanese cords.

IRISH WAXED LINEN

Waxed Irish Linen is widely used in macrame, basketry and other crafts where a fine twine/thread, color-fast and washable is desired.     Waxed Iris Linen works well for bead-embellishment of these fiber-arts projects.    We carry 4-ply waxed linen in an assortment of colors.     Currently, we do not carry the 2-ply, 3-ply, 7-ply or 12-ply thicknesses.       We have most, but not all, the colors listed below.   We sell 4-ply #18 waxed irish linen in 100 yard spools (50 grams). Order enough thread for your entire project as dye-lot color may vary.

HEMP

Nature's longest and strongest fiber is once again being processed into natural, biodegradable twines, yarns, and ropes.  We offer 100% hemp cordage for craft and beadwork.

Hemp is becoming the fiber of choice for craftspeople who demand quality, durability, and most importantly, environmental integrity.  Hemp is grown without pesticides or herbicides and is processed without toxic chemicals and chlorine bleaches.

We carry Hemp Twine.

SATIN CORD (RAT TAIL)

SINEW

This cord is very durable.  It has a 70 pound strength.  It is a flat, wide thread that can be split into thinner pieces by pulling it apart.  A 4-ounce cone is approximately 150 yards.

You can also use raw or plated WIRE to wire-wrap your own ends. It's not that difficult to do. 
1. Cut a piece about 2 1/2" long, and bend it into a U-shape
2. Cradle the cord within the U, so that you leave what will be the "loop" (bottom of the U-shape) open
3. Wrap another piece of wire around and around this U-shape. Keep the wire tight. Keep each successive coil close to the previous one.
Go down about 3/4" - 1". Then cut all the tails/ends off. 
4. Tuck in any sharp ends underneath the coil, using a pliers.
