Description
A clear, strong red without a blue cast that draws the eye. With black, white and navy it adds a sporty accent.
The cord is round braided and at 8 mm sturdy enough for hoods, waistbands and drawstring bags. It is made from 100 % cotton, feels soft and sits well in the hand. Wash at 30 degrees and keep it out of the tumble dryer. You buy from 0.5 metres and cut exactly the length you need. The firm braid keeps its round shape even when the cord is pulled through a channel again and again.
What Round Cotton Cord 8 mm Red is suitable for
- Hoods on hoodies and sweat jackets
- Waistband cords on joggers and shorts
- Drawstring gym bags and backpacks
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
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.
Do eyelets and end caps fit this thickness?
Choose eyelets and cord stoppers with an inner opening of at least eight millimetres, ideally a little more. Then the cord glides through easily without rubbing and is still comfortable to draw closed after many washes.
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.
Does the cord fray at the ends?
Only a little, because it is tightly braided. For neat ends, knot it, fit a cord end cap or wrap the end with thread. Heat sealing does not work on pure cotton.
