Ein sattes denim blue that recalls jeans without imitating them. Beside raw denim it looks related; beside grey or natural white it sets a quiet counterpoint.
This cord is braided round, and at 6 mm it is sturdy enough to sit properly in a hood or waistband instead of twisting. Pure cotton means it feels soft rather than plasticky, yet a cut end barely frays. Wash at 30 degrees; keep it out of your tumble dryer. You buy from 0.5 metres, so you cut exactly what your project needs.
What Kordel rund 6 mm Denim is suitable for
- Hooded jackets and sweat jackets, because this shade sits beside denim without competing.
- Drawstrings on joggers, because blue never looks patchy after many washes.
- Gym bags and rucksacks, because a round cord sits well in your hand as you pull.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to thread this cord?
Tape your end flat or tie a knot, then guide it through your channel using a safety pin. At 6 mm your channel wants to be at least one centimetre wide, otherwise it will snag.
Will the ends fray?
Barely, as it is tightly braided round. For ends that stay tidy, knot them, fit a cord end cap, or bind them by wrapping thread. Melting will not work on pure cotton.
Does this cord shrink in a wash?
Cotton pulls together slightly in a first wash. So wash your cord together with your fabric before threading it, then that length still fits after your first laundry round.
How much cord does a hood take?
Measure your channel, then add whatever should hang down at each side. As a rough guide, take your channel length plus roughly a hand's width per end, so your hood still draws shut.
