What is Braided Cotton Cord 4mm?
It’s a braided cotton cord with an approximate 4mm thickness, made from 100% cotton. The braided structure gives it a uniform look, helps it hold its shape, and provides consistent strength—ideal for crafts, textile work, and practical tying.
Is this a cotton cord or cotton thread?
It’s primarily a cotton cord (also used like cotton twine). At 4mm, it’s thicker and more structured than standard cotton thread, making it a great option when you want more body, a stronger hold, and a more visible decorative finish.
What’s the difference between cotton cord and cotton twine?
Cotton cord is usually more structured and consistent in thickness, while cotton twine can be softer and more flexible. This product is a braided cotton cord designed for a neater finish, better shape retention, and improved durability.
What can I use braided cotton cord for?
It’s ideal for crafts, DIY, gift wrapping, tags, agriculture and packaging, simple macramé projects, crochet details, doll making, decorative tying, and handmade projects where you want a natural look with a thicker, more consistent cord.
Does braided cotton cord fray when cut?
Yes, it may fray slightly when cut. To reduce fraying, wrap tape around the cutting point before cutting, use a hot knife (if suitable), or tie a small knot at the end.
Is it easy to work with?
Yes. The 4mm thickness makes it easy to grip, tie, and handle, and the braided structure helps you get clean, consistent finishes.
Can I dye or paint the cotton cord?
Yes. Cotton generally takes dye and fabric paint well. For best results, test on a small piece first and let it dry completely before use.
Can I wash it?
Yes, but gentle washing is recommended to help keep the cord’s shape and reduce tangling. Let it air dry.

You can buy braided cotton cord 4mm online at Texland.
