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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat kinds of projects work best with this 2.5–3 mm macrame cord?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cord is thin enough for fine-detail knotting but long enough for larger pieces when using multiple skeins.
