Ropes and cords — Description

Ropes and cords are used for packaging, tying, garden work, crafts and construction. The category offers jute, cotton and polypropylene twine, twisted from two or more strands, in different thicknesses and colours, plus nylon cord with hooks. Start by choosing the material: jute and cotton are natural and look good in decor and gift wrapping, while polypropylene resists moisture better and does not rot. Diameter matters too, as it determines strength, and so does reel length, which you should match to the size of the job. Brands include Lasso and Redcliffs.
