1mm Waxed Irish Linen Necklace / Knotting Cord, Black

I have a hobby of making jewelry and friendship bracelets, as well as other crafts. When one of my favorite leather cord necklaces broke I began looking for cord to replace the broken one. Instead of paying an outrageous amount of money for cord I was able to get high quality cord and replace it myself. I must say I love this cord! Strong single stranded, and perfect for braiding, this is the perfect craft cord. Since receiving the cord in the mail I have not only replaced my necklace, but have made several bracelets and necklaces as gifts for my friends and they ask me where I bought them. They know I am a crafter, but they are shocked by the quality of the cord. Perfect for bead work and any other craft I highly recommend this product! The waxy feel stays with the cord, but makes it smooth after wearing and less waxy with extended wear. Strong and lasting, perfect for any project!

I purchased this to make macrame jewelry and I love that this waxed linen cord has enough wax on it that if I need to undo a few knots, the cord still looks great when I continue knotting. The knots hold securely though. If you want to use beads with this, you'll have to use ones with larger holes. I feel that this cord was great value for what I paid and also considering the quality of the cord. It was exactly as I expected it to be.

This worked perfectly for the necklaces my daughter and I made. Good and strong, but still thin. Fast shipping and decent packaging.

It's a little wiry, but it holds! I use it as a binding for my research pamphlets. It's so much easier to find the information I gather by making a titled "homemade" book of printed, research materials complete with illustrations. I'm a writer and may use the same info again and again. Waxed Irish Linen cord holds a stack of more than 40 pages of both heavy card stock (90 pounds) and regular printer paper (60 pounds) together evenly once it is inserted through holes made in the paper with a puncher. And because it is so thin I can stack them or stand them upright on a bookshelf without them toppling over, or creating too much bulk to stand straight. I know it's a strange use for this product, but it serves this purpose well.

I've made braided, macrame knotted, chan luu and some other types of bracelets with this cord and it's great. It is light to work with, but strong, and the fact that it's pre-waxed is great because it allows the beads to slide, but once you knot it, it will stick in place a little tighter than many other types of cord. It has a little bit of tack so it sticks to the surface you're working on, or it can stick to itself, which is helpful when you are twisting it or tying knots.I've tried hemp, paper cord, and leather, and while leather is the closest competitor, it is much more expensive and you get so much more for the money on this, and I can't see a downside to using this over the leather. You can get it in brown and cream as well.Also, the company that stocks this (or did when I bought it) Beadaholique, has absolutely AMAZING tutorials. They're really helpful. Hopefully I won't get in trouble for saying that, but watching their YouTube vids and using their site helped me go from knowing absolutely nothing, to being able to make jewelry like it's a reflex, so...I think they deserve a little shout-out ;)

Genuine old school waxed linen cord. Exactly what I was looking for.

Works great I have used to make necklaces.

I used this product to crochet bracelets and necklaces with beads. It works well for this purpose, as long as I coat the ends with clear finger nail polish.What it does not work well for is stringing beads with much space inbetween. I used it to make a necklace with a wrapped sea glass donut pendant. After wearing the necklace for a month on occasion the linen has become fuzzy and it starting to separate in one spot.

As I stated in the title this is good, sturdy, strong, better than leather cord. Stronger than cotton or leather or hemp and works beautifully in macrame, beading/jewelry making or any other project requiring durable long lasting cord. I haven't tested it out wet so the jury is stillout on whether the dyes will bleed or not but overall I'm really liking working with this cord. Deliver was next day service and for the price you can't beat this product.

Muy buena calidad, llego en tiempo!

Je n'ai pas encore utilisé le fil. Néanmoins celui-ci me semble de très bonne qualité.

Great quality, fast delivery.. thank you

Not what I was expecting at all, I was looking for necklace string, this came up as a suggestion. Jokes on me really, I should have paid more attention. It’s thin, stuff waxy twine. No idea what it’s actually for. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂 the delivery was swift however. ☺️👍🏻
