Pepperell Crafts 6mm Macrame Cord (Twisted Polypropylene) — Rust 2‑Pack 100yd each, Durable Colourfast

Pepperell Crafts Bonnie Braid is a 6mm twisted polypropylene macrame cord sold as a value two-pack (100 yards each) in a rich rust colour for durable, fade-resistant DIY crafts.

Whether you’re knotting a plant hanger, crocheting textured baskets, or weaving wall art, this Bonnie Braid cord offers a lightweight, strong alternative to natural fibres. The cord’s twisted construction gives a smooth, even profile that’s easy to handle, while the polypropylene material resists mildew and retains colour for long-lasting projects. Each roll contains 100 yards of 6mm cord, and the two-pack lets you tackle larger pieces or keep a backup on hand.

How does this cord perform during macrame and crochet projects?

The 6mm gauge delivers a balance between flexibility and structure: it’s thick enough to show knot definition yet soft enough to manipulate for complex patterns. Twisted polypropylene slides smoothly through fingers and hooks, making repetitive knotting or crocheting less strenuous. The even twist reduces snagging and helps finished pieces hang straight.

• 6mm diameter for visible knot texture without bulk.
• Twisted braid ensures consistent knotting and low fray.
• Lightweight polypropylene makes large projects manageable.
• Two 100yd spools for continuity on wide projects or multiple pieces.

Will the rust colour stay vibrant over time and outdoor exposure?

The synthetic polypropylene fibre holds dye well, so the rust hue resists fading compared with untreated natural cords. It’s suitable for outdoor-decor applications like plant hangers or porch accents when kept out of direct, prolonged sunlight. For best colour retention, avoid continuous UV exposure and bring pieces indoors during severe weather.

• Polypropylene resists colour loss better than many natural fibres.
• Not fully UV-proof — limited outdoor durability recommended.
• Colourfast for indoor displays and partially shaded outdoor use.
• Easy to spot-clean to maintain colour intensity.

How do I care for and finish projects made with this cord?

Cleaning is straightforward: spot clean with mild soap and water and allow to air dry. End finishes can be sealed by knotting, whipping, or a small application of heat on synthetic fibres; test a short length first to avoid melting. The cord trims cleanly with sharp shears for neat ends and tassels.

• Spot clean with gentle detergent and cool water.
• Seal ends by whipping, knotting, or cautious heat finishing.
• Trim with sharp scissors for tidy fringes and tassels.
• Store in a dry place to prevent dust buildup and retain colour.

What tools and project types pair best with this Bonnie Braid cord?

The 6mm thickness works well with size-appropriate hooks, dowels, and rings used in macrame and crochet. It pairs nicely with wooden or metal rings for plant hangers, wooden dowels for wall hangings, and larger crochet hooks for basket weaving. Compatible with mixed-material projects where a durable synthetic accent is desired.

• Recommended tools: 5–8mm crochet hooks, wooden dowels, metal rings.
• Ideal projects: plant hangers, wall art, baskets, macrame shelves.
• Combine with beads or mixed fibres for contrast and texture.
• Two-spool packaging supports multi-piece sets or pattern repeats.
