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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this cord perform for detailed macramé patterns?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsistent thickness across 191 yards (573 ft) minimizes gauge issues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft, matte polyester improves knot clarity and tactile finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks well with 6–10 US crochet hooks or by hand for knotting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBraided construction limits fraying during intensive knotting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this cord outdoors or for items that need frequent washing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolyester cleans easily and dries quickly after washing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMore resistant to abrasion and wear than similar-thickness cotton.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for occasional outdoor exposure and sheltered outdoor use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLess likely to trap dust or aggravate some dust allergies versus cotton.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much cord do I get and what projects fit this length?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach skein supplies approximately 191 yards (±5%) — enough for multiple medium projects or one large piece.
