Description:
Waxed Irish linen cord is a strong, high-quality thread made from 100% Irish linen that has been coated with a wax layer, giving it increased durability, excellent knot-holding ability, and a slightly stiff texture, making it ideal for crafts like jewelry making, Kumihimo, basket weaving, bookbinding, and leatherwork due to its strength and ability to hold intricate stitches; the wax also helps prevent fraying and adds a subtle sheen to the cord.
