The "anorak cord" is uniquely named after the running cord found in anoraks. An anorak is a special jacket used primarily in the Arctic and Greenland. Here, the most resistant and durable materials are needed to withstand cold and wear.
Anorak cord is thus a product name for cord that is perfect for clothing and creative projects.
The durable cotton cords measure 3mm in thickness and you can find them in many different colours.
Choose cotton cord in different colours
Anorak cord is made of cotton. Firstly, this provides great resistance, as cotton is a strong and robust material. Secondly, cotton is a soft and flexible material, which makes the cord suitable for garments, bags and hobby projects.
The cord is often linked to its use as a shoelace. The soft and durable cord can replace an old and worn out shoelace. Whether you like classic black or want a more colourful look on your sneakers or running shoes is up to you.
You can find the cotton lace in the following colours:
- White
- Grey
- Black
- Navy blue
- Red.
Cotton laces can be used for practical and creative purposes. It can be a good idea to always have extra quality cord lying around at home so you can repair your son's hoddie or gym bushes or tie new ribbon around the swim bag.
If you use the string often, it may be worth taking advantage of a volume discount.
Make personalised fruit bags or sports backpacks with cotton string
If you need a simple and practical bag for swimming, or an extra gym bag for your son or daughter, you can easily sew a backpack with drawstrings. Anorak cord is the perfect choice for straps and ties in this regard.
Similarly, you can make your own fruit bags to enjoy at work. A fruit bag helps to keep the hygiene of the contents of the bag high, and it is the environmentally friendly alternative to plastic bags.
Cotton laces are machine washable at 30 degrees. This makes it easy to maintain your storage bags or wash your shoelaces when they get dirty over time.
Finish off your patchwork designs with anorak cord ties
If you work with patchwork, you'll know that "titties" are needed for placemats and flat decorative figures, among other things. These are ribbons that finish the craft. Cotton cord is ideal for this purpose.
You start by cutting the length of cord that matches your patchwork shape. Then you roll the cord into the fabric that you want to be the edge piece of your craft. Fold the end of the fabric under the cord and sew it to the table runner, placemat or rug.
For larger, creative patchwork projects, you may need a lot of cord.
You can buy cotton cord either individually or take advantage of quantity discounts. This is an economic advantage for you, who often start new creative projects.
You save money in the long run when you make use of quantity discounts. If you have leftover cord, there is sure to be a practical occasion in the future when you will need your sturdy and durable anorak cord.
