This roll of lightweight, non-sticky, and strong braided round cotton waxed cord has good tensile strength. It does not easily disintegrate. It is flexible and easy to maneuver but stiff enough to tie knots or hold shapes. The string is lightly waxed. It is not sticky and leaves no residue. The vibrant colors will not bleed. The cord is sturdy and it will not break when pulled by a bare hand. It is very uniform in thickness, color, and texture.
