CHINESE KNOTTING CORD - BRAIDED NYLON CORD <MEDIUM/FINE/EXTRA FINE> MICRO SIZES
Chinese Knotting Cord
Sizes:
~

Chinese knotting cord is a braided nylon cord mainly used for Chinese and Japanese ornamental knotting. Many sizes are available: Medium 1.2-1.5mm in diameter, Fine 0.8mm in diameter, Extra Fine 0.7mm and the Micro Sizes are 0.6mm and thinner. These braids are smooth, soft and flexible. They all have a cord at their center core to keep them rounded and increase their firmness. The Medium and Fine sizes are available in skeins or by cards of 10 yards for your convenience. The skeins are hand wound so yardage is approximate. Dye lot vary as the skeins are hand dyed. The dye lots of the Medium and Fine cord of the same color do not always match.

Additional applications: Square knot bracelets or necklaces or Shambala type bracelets. Sliding square knot closures for necklaces and bracelets. Stringing antique beads with large holes. Kumihimo. Can be intermixed with other cords such as C-Lon Bead Cord and Nylon #18, or used for micro macrame by itself. Fusible, the ends can be burnt > More

10 yard (9.15 m) cards or 82 yards skeins (75 m)
Made in China - Diameters are approximate. Expect some variations of diameter, texture and sheen within each weight. Cards hand-wound on recycled material. > Order Samples of the different weights/diameter.

Personal Note :: Many years ago a customer asked me to re-knot a Chinese belt with carved jade pieces and beads into a neckpiece. 256 Chinese button knots later done with extra fine Chinese knotting cord, I had this knot memorized and could do it in my sleep... The Chinese knotting cord is great for making square knot bracelets with large beads and sliding square knot closure for adjustable length cords. Supply is not always available, dye lots changes are noticeable - so order accordingly.

* The Black Special from Taiwan is a one time special from one of my gemstone dealer. She had two very large rolls of this very nice quality black braid from Taiwan. She kept one and sold me one. It is braided very evenly. It has the same diameter as the regular fine weight available from China but it is a bit blacker and it has more sheen.
