Coloured String

Our Luxe Single twisted cotton string is the softest string on the market. It is made from a high thread count of gorgeous cotton, spun into one strand. You’ll find the luxe string to be softer than rope and feel lovely on the hands. It is great for macrame & weaving, especially wallhangings where you can get a gorgeous fringe by combing the strands.

Coloured Rope

Our 3-ply rope is made of three entwined strands, forming a strong and sturdy cord which is great for structured pieces such as plant hangers. It is easier to knot than our luxe single twist string so it is also a great choice if you’re only beginning your macrame journey. When you finish a piece, the three strands can be unravelled to give a wavy fringe effect. This can be further combed out or left in wavy sections depending on the style preferred.

I mean, you can pretty much knot any length of cord, twine or rope.

our story
