A dark navy, deep enough to read almost black in low light. That quiet classic which never dates on a hoodie or a pair of sports trousers.
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 Marineblau is suitable for
- Sportswear, because navy always works beside black and grey.
- Hoods on winter jackets, because dark cords show less dirt.
- Drawstrings on travel bags, because this blue stays calm under heavy use.
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 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.
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.
