What is linen cord?
Linen cord is a strong thread made from flax fibers. It’s known for its natural look, durability, and low stretch, making it great for practical and decorative uses.
What is this linen cord made of?
It’s made of 100% polished linen, produced from high-quality flax fibers.
Is linen cord strong enough for heavy-duty use?
Yes. Linen is naturally strong and resistant, so it works well for handiwork requiring strength, durable textile repairs, and sewing heavier fabrics (depending on the thickness you choose).
Can I use linen cord for sewing heavy fabrics?
Yes. It’s a good option for sewing heavy fabrics and reinforcement work, especially when you want a natural fiber thread with excellent resistance.
Is it suitable for bookbinding?
Absolutely. Linen thread is widely used for manual bookbinding because it’s strong, stable, and holds knots well.
Can I use it for crochet or hand knitting?
Yes. This cord can be used for crocheting with natural fiber and hand knitting, especially for rustic, structured, or decorative projects.
What does *polished linen* mean?
*Polished* linen has a smoother, more refined finish. It keeps the natural linen look while offering cleaner handling and a nicer appearance.
Is it waxed or unwaxed? What’s the difference?
It can be waxed or unwaxed (depending on the version). Waxed linen grips better, reduces fraying, and is often preferred for bookbinding and stronger knots. Unwaxed feels more natural and can be easier for some craft applications.
Does linen cord stretch?
Linen cord is low-stretch (not very elastic), which helps keep tension stable in sewing, tying, and knotting.
Can it be used for cooking (tying roasts and meats)?
Yes, it’s suitable for tying roasts and meats in traditional cooking, as long as it’s used as kitchen twine and kept away from direct flames.
Is it good for rustic crafts and DIY projects?
Yes—its natural texture and finish make it perfect for rustic crafts, DIY projects, artisanal tags, and packaging.
Can I use it for decorative knots and bows?
Definitely. It’s great for decorative knots and bows, invitations, party favors, and other handmade details.
Is linen cord eco-friendly?
Yes. Linen is a natural fiber from flax and is generally considered a more eco-friendly and sustainable option compared to many synthetic threads.
