  • Our take on the Waxed Polyester Cord, Bead Cord, Black, 0.5mm

    This is a roll of Korean waxed polyester cord, about 0.5mm thick and roughly 155 to 160 meters long. The wax finish gives it a smooth, soft hand and helps knots hold, and the cord is strong enough to work as a leather alternative. It suits bead stringers, kumihimo braiders and anyone making knotted or braided jewelry. Against leather cord it is cheaper to work with and more consistent in thickness, but it is thinner and less stiff than many leather cords, so it is not a direct swap for heavier leather work.

    Questions and answers

    What is waxed polyester cord used for?
    It is used for stringing beads, kumihimo braiding, knotting and other jewelry-making. The wax helps knots grip and keeps the cord from fraying.
    How thick is this cord?
    It is about 0.5mm in diameter. That is thin, so it suits small beads and fine braids rather than chunky leather-style pieces.
    How much cord is on a roll?
    Each roll holds about 155 to 160 meters, or roughly 170 to 175 yards.
    Will it fit large-hole beads?
    Yes. The cord works well with large-hole beads, and you can knot between beads to hold them in place.
    Is it a good replacement for leather cord?
    It is a reasonable alternative for light jewelry work. It is thinner and softer than leather, so it will not match the look or stiffness of thicker leather cord.
    Does the wax rub off?
    The wax is part of the finish and can feel slightly tacky at first. It generally settles with handling and does not affect the cord's strength.
    Where is the Waxed Polyester Cord, Bead Cord, Black, 0.5mm cheapest?
