A light, clear mint — that colour which almost always works on baby things and children's clothes, because it looks fresh yet stays soft.
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 Mintgrün is suitable for
- Baby clothes and sleepsuits, because light mint has been a favourite there for years.
- Hoods on white or grey sweat fabrics, because mint loosens up that tone.
- Children's bags, because this colour stays fresh after many washes.
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.
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 go stiff after washing?
No, it stays soft. It needs no fabric conditioner, which would only coat the cotton. Air drying is enough; in a tumble dryer that braid slowly loses its round shape.
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.
