What is Braided Cotton Cord 10mm?
It’s a braided cotton cord with an approximate 10mm thickness, made from 100% cotton. The visible braided structure gives it a uniform look, helps it hold its shape, and provides consistent strength—ideal for projects where you want maximum presence, firmness, and a thick decorative finish.
Is this a cotton cord or cotton thread?
It’s primarily a cotton cord (also used like cotton twine). At 10mm, it’s far thicker and more structured than standard cotton thread, making it suitable for robust tying, upholstery work, and craft projects where you want extra volume and a premium handmade look.
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, better shape retention, and improved durability—especially in thicker sizes like 10mm.
What can I use braided cotton cord for?
It’s ideal for crafts and decoration (handmade projects, simple macramé, decorative finishes with maximum volume), upholstery work (securing padding, finishes and reinforcements), DIY projects, and agriculture/packaging for tying and bundling products in a traditional way.
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 10mm thickness makes it very easy to grip and tie, and the braided structure helps you achieve clean, consistent finishes—especially for decorative and upholstery applications.
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 let it dry completely before use.
Can I wash it?
Yes, but gentle washing is recommended to help keep the cord’s shape. Let it air dry.
