What is the core of a braid?
The core of a braid is the cord inside the sheath that gives it its round shape and added strength. Independent from the outer sheath, it can be removed manually. The core can be braided or parallel.
- Parallel core: core made of aligned strands. Not spliceable.
- Braided core: core made of braided strands. A braid with a braided core can be referred to as a “double braid”. It can be spliced.
- A braid without a core is referred to as “hollow”.
We advise you to use the twisted cotton rope 3mm. It is easy to hold, which makes it perfect for learning macramé knots.
- The combed cotton is often used in the production of feathers and leaves macramé because as its name indicates, it is the one that combs more easily but it is very well suited to any other type of realization, its rendering is quite soft.
- The twisted cotton can also be combed but a little more difficult and will have a slightly wavy rendering, unlike the combed cotton which will be smooth. And it too can be used in many achievements.
- The braided cotton can be used for many achievements including suspensions for plants because it is very pleasant to work when you have to make knots.

To smooth the feathers and leaves in macramé, we advise you to use a macramé brush and/ or fine comb to have an impeccable rendering.
After roughly cutting the edges of your leaf or pen, place it on a flat surface (if possible you protect a minimum) to brush the cords.
Do not be afraid to brush a little hard, you will need several passes and patience to get a soft and beautiful look.
You can soak it in water and gently clean it with Marseille soap. Once washed, dry your creation flat!
For dust, it is good to pass the special textile transparent waterproof... It makes it easier to dust them (with a brush or vacuum) and prevents stains from sticking.

Polypropylene is the most economical and lightweight fibre. It has an excellent quality/price ratio for uses that do not require a rope with a high performance mechanical strength.
Polypropylene is floating and hydrophobic. It can be in permanent contact with water without degrading itself. It is resistant to moisture.
Density: 0.91
Polypropylene fiber has good UV resistance but it is still inferior to polyester and nylon.
For a better outdoor life, make sure that your polypropylene rope is treated against UV. All our polypropylene ropes are.
Polypropylene is resistant to mites, bacteria, strong acids and alkalis and ordinary solvents. It is sensitive to aromatic compounds. It dissolves in chlorinated solvents at high temperatures.
Historically, "halyard" is the maritime name for a braided rope generally used to hoist a barge, horn or sail.
A pre-stretched cord has undergone a factory pre-stretch process to greatly limit its elongation during use.
Thermofixing is a pre-stretch performed at 100°C to improve compaction and stabilization of the fibers. This process improves the mechanical properties and life of a rope. It is reserved for high-end ropes for demanding uses.
