FAQs

What is the diameter of the cord?

The Berisfords Barley Twist Rope is 5mm wide.

Will this cord fray when I cut it?

No, the unique barley twist weave is designed to resist unraveling, making it significantly easier to handle than standard braided cords.

Can this be used for outdoor projects?

While durable, it is best suited for indoor crafting, garment making, and decorative bag handles rather than long-term outdoor exposure.

How should I clean items made with this rope?

It is recommended to use a gentle wash cycle and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the pearly finish.

Is the yellow color vibrant?

Yes, it provides a bold, high-quality yellow tone suitable for creating contrast in your craft projects.

Troubleshooting

Cord ends start to fray after heavy use

Apply a small amount of fabric glue or use a heat sealer specifically designed for synthetic materials to bond the loose ends.

Cord is difficult to pass through narrow channels

Use a bodkin or a safety pin attached to the end of the cord to guide it through casings or loops.
