CLOWEX Polyester Macrame Cord 2.5–3mm 191yd — Soft Braided Rope for Plant Hangers & Wall Art

CLOWEX Polyester Soft Macrame Cord is a 191-yard, braided 2.5–3 mm polyester rope made in Turkey for durable, easy-to-work macramé projects.

Whether you're designing plant hangers, wall art, bags or home textiles, this polyester cord offers a soft hand, matte finish and consistent diameter across its long length. Unlike stiff polypropylene alternatives, CLOWEX uses fully polyester yarn that resists quick wear, cleans easily, and keeps fibres looking less synthetic while remaining suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

How does this cord perform for detailed macramé patterns?

The 2.5–3 mm (about 1/8–1/10 inch) thickness gives excellent stitch definition without being bulky, so intricate knots and lace-like patterns hold their shape. It’s braided for uniform diameter, reducing untwisting while you work.

• Consistent thickness across 191 yards (573 ft) minimizes gauge issues.
• Soft, matte polyester improves knot clarity and tactile finish.
• Works well with 6–10 US crochet hooks or by hand for knotting.
• Braided construction limits fraying during intensive knotting.

Can I use this cord outdoors or for items that need frequent washing?

Yes — polyester outlasts cotton in many settings: it resists rot, dries faster, and tolerates repeated cleaning better. While not immune to long-term UV fade, its synthetic fibre makeup offers superior durability for outdoor plant hangers or patio décor compared with cotton.

• Polyester cleans easily and dries quickly after washing.
• More resistant to abrasion and wear than similar-thickness cotton.
• Suitable for occasional outdoor exposure and sheltered outdoor use.
• Less likely to trap dust or aggravate some dust allergies versus cotton.

How much cord do I get and what projects fit this length?

Each skein supplies approximately 191 yards (±5%) — enough for multiple medium projects or one large piece. The generous length makes it practical for wall hangings, macramé bags, multiple plant hangers, or a set of coasters and runners.

• 191 yards (573 feet) gives plenty for several small projects or one large installation.
• Use for wall hangings, plant hangers, bags, rugs, curtains, and more.
• Pair with 6–10 US crochet hooks or work by hand for varied textures.
• Length tolerance ±5% noted for planning larger patterns.

Why choose CLOWEX polyester over polypropylene or cotton cords?

CLOWEX polyester balances softness and grip without the slippery, overly shiny feel of polypropylene. Compared with cotton, it’s stronger when wet, more durable over time, and easier to clean — while still presenting a matte, less plastic appearance.

• Polyester offers a softer hand and better knot grip than polypropylene.
• Less prone to quick wear and fading than cotton in many uses.
• Matte finish looks more natural than glossy synthetic threads.
• Manufactured in Turkey to a high textile standard for consistent quality.

Who is this for? CLOWEX Polyester Soft Macrame Cord is aimed at makers who want a reliable, long-length rope that reads well under the hands and camera — craft hobbyists, boutique makers, and designers creating functional or decorative pieces for home and small-business sales. If you need consistent thickness, a soft matte look, and the ease of care polyester provides, this cord is a practical choice for both beginners and experienced macramé artists.
