Description
A muted blue with a grey veil, calm and unfussy. It goes with denim, sand and white without ever looking dull.
Round braided, 8 mm thick and made from 100 % cotton: this cord takes tension without slipping and stays soft at the same time. It copes with a 30 degree wash; skip the tumble dryer. Sold by the metre from 0.5 metres, so you get exactly the length you need for a hood, bag or waistband without much left over. Its cross-section stays round when knotted, so knots and end caps sit neatly.
What Round Cotton Cord 8 mm Smoke Blue is suitable for
- Hoodies and sweat jackets for kids and adults
- Drawstrings on jackets, waists and hems
- Pouches for toys, shoes and sports kit
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 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.
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.
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 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.
