A fresh, bright green with a yellow undertone. On dark sweat it reads like a point of light; on pale fabric it stays friendly rather than shrill.
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 Limette is suitable for
- Children's clothes, because bright greens are a favourite there.
- Dark hoodies, because lime green as a cord picks out your neckline.
- Nursery gym bags, because you spot this colour instantly in a pile.
Frequently asked questions
Can this cord go on children's clothes?
Better not on hoods for small children, where safety standards apply to cords. In a trouser waistband or as a bag pull it raises no concerns, likewise on clothes for older children.
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 colour bleed in a wash?
Dyed cotton can release a little colour in its first wash. So wash your cord on its own first, or with similar shades; after that it stays colourfast and can join a mixed load.
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.
