Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This macrame cord comes ready to use, typically on a reel for easy dispensing. Simply unspool the desired length for your project.
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard macrame knots and weaving techniques. It works well with natural dyes if you wish to customize colors, though pre-dyed options are also available. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor decor items, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather may degrade the natural fibers over time.
Care:
- Cleaning: For general dust or dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive water, as this can affect the texture and color of the natural cotton.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and degradation of the fibers.
- Fraying: To prevent fraying when cutting, use sharp scissors or a craft knife. You can also finish cut ends with a small amount of fabric glue or by carefully melting synthetic alternatives if a blend were used (though this cord is 100% cotton).
- Washing Projects: If macrame items made with this cord need washing, hand wash gently in cool water with a mild soap and lay flat to dry.
