This is a flat, black waxed polyester cord, also sold as micro macrame cord or waxed sewing thread. It is about 0.8 mm wide and comes on a roll of about 284.33 yards (260 m). The length is continuous, and the shape and color are consistent.
A special waxing technique makes the cord wear-resistant, dirt-proof and not easy to fray. It keeps its shape to some extent. With long wear, the wax wears off naturally and the finished piece looks brighter. When the ends are sealed by melting them over a flame, they do not blacken easily.
The cord is used for making bracelets and micro macrame, and for other fine craft items. It is also strong enough for leather sewing, stitching, binding, beading, repairs and wrapping gemstone beads.
