PH PandaHall 3mm Satin Nylon Rattail Cord 16-Colour 160yd Set — Smooth, Durable Beading & Macramé String

PH PandaHall 3mm satin nylon rattail cord is a 160-yard craft bundle of 3mm satin silk-like cord in 16 vibrant colours designed for friendship bracelets, Chinese knots, macramé, beading, and decorative trims.

This set bundles sixteen vivid shades of 3mm satin nylon (often called rattail or silk cord) supplied in a total of about 160 yards—roughly ten yards per colour. The cord has a smooth, satiny finish that slides easily through beads and knots cleanly for traditional Chinese knotting, Kumihimo braiding, friendship bracelets, tassels and other textile craft applications. It’s versatile enough for hobbyists, jewellery makers, costume designers and decorators who want reliable cord with a polished look.

How strong and durable is this 3mm satin nylon cord?

The cord balances softness with durability: its braided nylon core resists fraying while the satin surface gives a smooth finish. It knots securely for decorative and structural uses but can be untied when needed for adjustments.

• Approx. 3mm diameter for visible, sturdy knots and smooth threading.
• Braided nylon construction reduces stretch and abrasion.
• Satiny outer finish resists snagging on beads and metal findings.
• Holds common knot types used in Chinese knotting and macramé.

What projects can I make with this 16-colour set?

The colour range and yardage make this set suitable for a wide variety of small to mid-size projects. Use individual colours for accent details or combine strands for multicolour patterns and thicker cords.

• Friendship bracelets, Kumihimo braids and beaded necklaces.
• Chinese knots, tassels and decorative trims for clothing or gifts.
• Dream catchers, tassel bookmarks, lanyards and graduation tassels.
• Hair braiding accents, small macramé panels and craft wrapping.

Will these cords work with beads and jewellery findings?

Yes—3mm satin cord pairs well with most bead hole sizes when using spacer beads or larger-hole beads. The smooth surface reduces friction, making threading and finishing easier for both metal and glass beads.

• Compatible with medium-to-large bead holes or crimp bead setups.
• Slides through metal findings with less wear than rougher fibres.
• Ideal for creating sliding knots, loop closures and wrapped ends.
• Use needle or temporary stiffeners for very small bead holes.

How much cord do I get and how are the colours supplied?

The package supplies approximately 160 yards total—about ten yards per colour—across sixteen distinct hues. That quantity suits many small craft runs and gives you palette flexibility without buying separate spools.

• 16 individual colours, roughly 10 yards each, totaling ~160 yards.
• Colours include neutrals plus bright tones for contrast and layering.
• Pre-cut lengths ready for immediate use; ideal for multi-colour designs.
• Compact packaging for tidy storage and easy project selection.

Who is this for: Crafters, jewellery designers and DIY decorators who want a versatile, satiny cord collection for knotting, beading and decorative work. It’s great for hobbyists learning Chinese knotting or Kumihimo, makers creating colourful friendship bracelets, teachers assembling craft kits, and anyone who needs dependable, attractive cord for small-to-medium craft projects.
