CLOWEX Macrame Cord 2.5–3mm Polyester – 4-Skein 764 yd, Braided Soft Durable Rope

CLOWEX Polyester Soft Macrame Cord is a braided, 2.5–3 mm (≈1/8–1/10 in) polyester rope sold as four skeins totaling 764 yards, made for durable, cleanable macrame projects.

If you want a reliable, non-cotton option for macrame that balances softness, grip, and longevity, this Turkish-made polyester yarn is designed for a wide range of handmade items. The cord is braided to a consistent thickness and packaged as four long skeins that together equal roughly 764 yards (±5%). Because it’s polyester rather than polypropylene or cotton, it offers a matte finish, less slipperiness, and easier care for both indoor and outdoor pieces.

What kinds of projects work best with this 2.5–3 mm macrame cord?

This cord is thin enough for fine-detail knotting but long enough for larger pieces when using multiple skeins. It suits small to medium-sized home accessories and wearable crafts made by hand or with a 6–10 US crochet hook.

• Plant hangers, wall art, and lightweight curtains
• Bags, purses, keychains, and hats
• Coasters, runners, rugs, and table décor
• Jewellery projects and macrame trims

How does polyester compare to cotton and polypropylene for macrame?

Polyester sits between cotton and polypropylene: it’s easier to clean than cotton, more flexible and less glossy than polypropylene, and less prone to fraying while holding knots securely. It also avoids the synthetic shine and slippery feel typical of polypropylene cords.

• Softer hand feel than polypropylene; better knot grip
• More durable and fade-resistant than many cotton cords
• Lowers lint and allergy concerns compared with cotton
• Matte finish gives a natural aesthetic without cotton’s drawbacks

Can I use these skeins outdoors and will they last?

The polyester fibres resist abrasion and wash well, making them a practical choice for items exposed to sunlight or regular wear. While no fibre is completely immune to weathering, polyester stands up better than cotton in damp or frequently cleaned environments.

• Suitable for outdoor plant hangers and porch décor
• Easier to spot-clean or machine-wash than cotton pieces
• Less likely to shrink or lose strength with repeated washing
• Resists pilling and common wear for long-term use

How much cord do I get and how should I plan my project usage?

This pack contains four skeins adding up to approximately 764 yards (2292 ft). Plan for knot-heavy patterns and fringe by allocating length conservatively—macrame pieces can require substantial extra cord for knotting and finishing.

• Total length: ~764 yards (±5%) across 4 skeins
• Thickness consistency: 2.5–3 mm (about 1/8–1/10 in)
• Recommended tools: 6–10 US crochet hooks or hand knotting
• Buy extra if making large rugs, lengthy wall hangings, or complex bag linings

Who is this for? CLOWEX’s Turkish-made polyester macrame cord is aimed at makers who want a resilient, low-maintenance alternative to cotton and a less glossy option than polypropylene. It’s a good fit for hobbyists and small-business crafters creating plant hangers, accessories, and home textiles that need cleanability and long-term wear. If you value consistent thickness, a soft hand, and a matte look for both indoor and outdoor projects, this cord provides a versatile foundation for many creative designs.
