What is Braided Cotton Cord 3mm?
It’s a braided cotton cord with an approximate 3mm thickness, made from 100% cotton. The braided structure helps it keep its shape, gives it a more uniform look, and provides consistent strength for craft and textile projects.
Is this a cotton cord or cotton thread?
It’s primarily a cotton cord (also used like cotton twine). At 3mm, it’s thicker and more structured than standard cotton thread, making it easier to handle for decorative and practical uses.
What’s the difference between cotton cord and cotton twine?
Cotton cord is usually more structured and consistent in thickness, while cotton twine can be softer and more flexible. This product is a braided cotton cord designed for a neater finish and better durability.
What can I use braided cotton cord for?
It’s ideal for crafts, DIY, gift wrapping, tags, agriculture and packaging, simple macramé projects, crochet details, doll making, and decorative projects where you want a natural look with a more regular finish.
Does braided cotton cord fray when cut?
Yes, it may fray slightly when cut. To reduce fraying, wrap tape around the cutting point before cutting, use a hot knife (if suitable), or tie a small knot at the end.
Is it easy to work with?
Yes. The 3mm thickness and braided structure make it comfortable to handle, easy to tie, and great for clean, consistent finishes.
Can I dye or paint the cotton cord?
Yes. Cotton generally takes dye and fabric paint well. For best results, test on a small piece first and allow it to dry completely before use.
Can I wash it?
Yes, but gentle washing is recommended to help keep the cord’s shape and reduce tangling. Let it air dry.
