COTTON ROPE ZERO WASTE 2 MM - 3 PLY

Macrame is a handicraft similar to weaving and crocheting. You create macrame projects by tying knots into cords.

Many think the word macrame comes from the Arabic word migramah, which means fringe. This type of textile-making dates back to the 13th century, when Arabic weavers used similar knots to secure loose ends on towels and other linens.

Though it was first used centuries ago, macrame is still popular today. Makers use GANXXET macrame cords to create beautiful wall hangings, plant holders, jewelry, and a variety of other pieces.

Macrame cotton rope 2 mm 3 ply is a type of macrame cord. The numbers following help you learn more about the size and structure.

The "2 mm" part indicates that if you were to measure the diameter of this cord, it would be about 2 millimeters. That's just over 1/16th of an inch thick, which means it's a relatively thin rope.

This size works well for creating delicate macrame pieces, like earrings and keychains. However, you can also use it for larger projects, like wall hangings.

The word “ply” refers to the number of layers something has. When a rope is 3-ply, it is created by twisting three separate strands together. This construction makes it more durable than a single-strand rope. And this durability allows for greater design flexibility.

GANXXET is dedicated to environmentally friendly practices. That’s why we source our material from recycled cotton waste from the garment industry.

Instead of dying our cords, we up-cycle similarly colored garments. Then, we break down the fabric into cotton fiber and spin it to create a new thread.

This process uses less water and creates significantly fewer carbon emissions than the traditional method of cord production, so you can feel good about using it. When you purchase GANXXET Zero Waste macrame cord, you help to eliminate waste from landfills.

Of course, this recycling process means you might notice slight variations in the color from one batch to another. If you need enough for a specific project, we recommend ordering it all at once so you’re sure to get the correct amount from the same batch.

This cotton rope is so versatile that it can be used for various macrame or crocheting projects, such as:

- Keychains
- Doilies
- Feathers
- Dreamcatchers
- Plant hangers
- Jewelry pieces like bracelets or necklaces
- Baskets
- Garlands and wreaths
- Wall hangings

With so many fun colors available, you can create nearly anything you dream of!

Each Cotton Rope Zero Waste 2 MM 3 Ply spool has 160 yards of cord. That’s about 146 meters, or 480 feet, of cord.

You’ll want to check your macrame pattern to see how much rope it calls for. Depending on the length required, you may need to order more than one spool.
