Thin cords have one practical advantage: they knot easily without the knot looking bulky. For pendants and jewellery work that is often decisive.
As a drawstring it only suits small openings. In a hoodie or bag such a thin cord cuts into the hand when pulled – thicker qualities are more comfortable there.
To thread it, use a safety pin or a bodkin. Wrap the end with a little tape and it slides through the channel more easily.
The ends fray. With synthetic fibre a brief touch of flame is enough; with cotton, a knot, an end cap or a drop of fabric glue does the job.
Frequently asked questions
What is this thickness intended for?
Fine work: jewellery, pendants, small drawstrings and anything that has to pass through narrow eyelets or beads. For large bags and hoodies it is too thin.
How do I thread the cord through a channel?
With a safety pin on the end or a bodkin. Wrap the tip with a little tape and it will not catch on the seams inside the channel.
How do I secure the ends?
With synthetic fibre, melt briefly with a flame. With cotton, tie a knot, add an end cap or seal the fibres with a drop of fabric glue.
