Polypropylene halyard – Parallel core

- 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.

For outdoor macramé creations, discover our Braided synthetic yarn. Available in pretty colors musk this synthetic rope will remain intact outdoors! The Polyester braided rope - Parallel core is also treated anti-UV and totally imputrescible.

Outdoors but under cover, you can use twisted cotton rope. Cotton is resistant to moisture when it dries, otherwise the spots of mold may appear.

Otherwise, the jute twine is very pretty and resistant to moisture.

Discover our macrame tool and accessories category. They will help you to expand your creativity and become the best allies of your macramé creations!

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.

Anti UV treatment

To stay intact in the face of prolonged exposure to the sun, our synthetics are treated to resist UV.

Better resistance to weather

Rain, snow, sea water... Our synthetic ropes are designed to last in the face of moisture and corrosion.

Longer life

The synthetic rope is suitable for long-term decoration of your exterior. You can choose the synthetic hemp rope for a natural effect guaranteed.

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.

A Garcette is a small synthetic rope with a diameter generally less than 5mm used to do all kinds of small work on a ship.

Historically, "halyard" is the maritime name for a braided rope generally used to hoist a barge, horn or sail.

Now, the name "halyard" has been generalized to all types of synthetic braided cord and its field of application has been extended to industry, events and crafts.

The core of a halyard is the cord inside the braid that allows it to be round and reinforced. Independent of the outer braid, it can be removed manually. The core can be braided or parallel.

Beyond its material (polyester, nylon, polypropylene, polyethylene), a halyard is defined by the braiding of its core.

• Halyard with braided core
• Halyard with parallel core
• Hollow halyard (without core)

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.
