Cord for knitting and weaving

In cord knitting, in principle, as in any creativity, there are no strict rules and frameworks for what to knit from what. It cannot be said that a bag can only be knitted from a thin cord, and a pillowcase only from a thick one - crocheting and weaving macrame is about the freedom to embody ideas. From the cord you can knit beautiful and, most importantly, a variety of products - bags, baskets, carpets, tablecloths - whatever your imagination allows. But it’s still worth considering what kind of end result you want to get, and for this you need to understand what the cord for knitting and macrame can be.

What kind of cords are used for knitting bags and home decor?

In order for your knitting or weaving to be perfect, you need to choose the right cord, and they vary not only by color, but also by warehouse, by weaving and fabric.

For knitting, you can use polyester cord, polypropylene cord and buff cord.

On our website we present polyester cord for knitting bags and home decor in Ukrainian textiles. This cord has a wide range of colors, its high viscosity, so that it does not fade in the sun, does not lose shape and color after wear.

Polyester cords are an ideal material for handicrafts with virtually unlimited possibilities for drying: bags, crampons, flower pots, kilims, curtains, cradles, hammocks, floor lamps and much more.

A polyester cord without a refill of Ukrainian production is:
