Product Description


Are you looking for wax necklace cord to replace a necklace metal chain due to metal sensitivity? Do you feel heavily waxed twine is too sticky and difficult to use? This spool of wax cord for jewelry making and crafting is just what you need. Made from cotton and lightly waxed, this cotton waxed cord with excellent tensile strength is highly workable for constructing beautifully detailed and long-lasting handiworks. The waxed cotton twine is easy to maneuver but stiff enough to hold shape and retain slipknots, double knots, and other fancy knotwork. The cotton waxed thread cord withstands water, feels nice on the skin, and won’t cause irritation or leave a gunky residue. Exceedingly easy to manipulate and craft with, this waxed cord jewelry making is sure to make an impression.
This vegan cotton string is a great leather cord or metal chain replacement for jewelry making and beading. As necklace rope, it pairs well with a variety of jewelry findings, pendants, charms made from wood, glass, metal, or stone. As bracelet string, the waxed cotton cord for bracelet making creates braided kumihimo and friendship bracelets like a pro. For DIY projects, the waxed cord can be used to accentuate clothing, coil gourds, tie cables, balloons, and bamboo trellises, repair shoe and boot laces, bind books and journals, or hang light to medium-weight plants. This wax beading cord is strong and will not unravel or break upon tying, knotting, and pulling. With a wax string this adaptable and easy to use, making professional-looking pieces has never been easier!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2025Color: BlackSize: 1mm 109 YardsVerified PurchasePurchase for use with art students in high school and middle school for windchimes, jewelry and such. This cord is good quality, and easy for students to tie the knots for the intended use. It is of a good thickness as well for both uses.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2025Color: BlackSize: 1mm 109 YardsVerified PurchaseI’ve been repeatedly repairing a favorite wind chime for years with upholstery thread that kept breaking, and I needed something that would give me a more permanent repair. This fit the bill perfectly. The wind chime is not directly exposed to the weather, just dampness, wind, and temperature changes and I’m hopeful that my repairs will last. I just put it outside so I can’t speak to how well this cord will hold up, but I have a good feeling about it
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020Color: BlackSize: 1mm 109 YardsVerified PurchaseSpool snapped in half after first use. I'd call this lightly waxed thread. Seed beads and similar sized beads were tricky to get threaded. I had to keep snipping the end to get a fresh, unfrayed end, then gently twist it through the bead. If I licked the end to bring the frays back together, the wax was removed. That being said, this is awesome for simple projects not intended for sale. The wood beads of my mala rubbed the wax coating off in about a month, which then lead to poofy bits sticking out between the beads. Photo is newly strung bracelet with similar beads.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023Color: BlackSize: 1mm 109 YardsVerified PurchaseI feel like this frayed way too easily and I wasn't able to work with it how I wanted to.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019Color: BlackSize: 1mm 109 YardsVerified PurchaseI have neck issues that prevent me from wearing anything with too much weight around my neck. .. so I've transitioned to mostly small charms, but even those can hurt me after 25 minutes or so. My solution? I use this cord to make a three strand braid that is long enough to loop around my bra strap and hang over my neck and shoulders- that way the weight is supported on my bra/shoulders and not the back of my neck where my issues are.
I've used this cord and their blue shades for this for a few years now- and the only time I ever feel the need to switch out or refresh them is if I'm tired of a particular color or I've worn it so long that the color has started to get dingy. I'm not saying they bleed- because they don't. I shower, work, and sweat in them in a daily basis and they hold up, it's just the oils from my skin can color the lighter shades after 6 months or so.
But for daily wear and tear and pretty much living in this cord? It holds up. It doesn't fray or break. It's easy to work with. It's lightweight. It's comfortable against the skin. One roll of it lasts FOREVER too.
I've got zero complaints about this product and have been a repeat buyer many times.
