Description
A light, soft blue like a spring sky. With white, grey and navy it looks fresh; with baby pink it feels playful.
With a diameter of 8 mm, this round braided cord is a strong choice for anything that gets drawn closed. It is made from 100 % cotton, pleasantly grippy and hardly twists. Care: wash at 30 degrees, no tumble dryer. Available from 0.5 metres, so you get exactly as much as each project really needs and nothing is left over. Because the cord is thicker than standard hoodie laces, it looks high quality and stays easy to grip.
What Round Cotton Cord 8 mm Baby Blue is suitable for
- Gym bags, duffel bags and laundry bags
- Hood cords for parkas and anoraks
- Bag straps and key rings
- Macramé and decorative projects
Sewing tips
- Den Tunnel deutlich weiter nähen als die Kordel, etwa zwei Zentimeter breit, dann gleitet sie leicht.
- Ösen und Kordelstopper mit mindestens 8 mm Innenmaß verwenden, besser etwas mehr.
- Zum Einziehen das Ende mit Klebeband umwickeln und mit einer großen Sicherheitsnadel oder einem Durchzieher führen.
- Enden knoten, mit Garn umwickeln oder mit Endkappen abschließen – reine Baumwolle lässt sich nicht anschmelzen.
- Kordel vor dem Einziehen zusammen mit dem Stoff vorwaschen, Baumwolle läuft bei der ersten Wäsche leicht ein.
- In Kapuzen und im Halsbereich von Kleidung für kleine Kinder keine durchgezogenen Kordeln verwenden.
- Bei 30 Grad waschen, nicht bleichen, nicht in den Trockner, nur mit niedriger Stufe bügeln.

Frequently asked questions
How do I thread the cord in?
Wrap the end in a little tape or knot it, then guide it through the channel with a large safety pin. For a cord this sturdy, a bodkin with a wide eye makes the job easier.
Does the cord shrink in the wash?
Cotton draws in slightly during its first wash. So prewash the cord together with your fabric before threading it in, and the length will still be right afterwards.
How much cord do I need for a hood?
Measure the channel and add on each side the length you want to hang down. As a guide, take the channel length plus roughly a hand width per end.
How wide should the channel be for 8 mm?
Make the channel clearly wider than the cord, roughly two centimetres when stitched. If it is too narrow, the cord snags as you pull it and puts needless strain on the seam.
