3-ply rope, organic cotton
3-ply cotton rope with 4 or 2.5 mm diameter made in Sweden, perfect for macramé! "3-ply" means that it is made of three separate parts that are twined together to form the cord. It is advisable that you tape the ends of your cord when you cut them to avoid fraying during the knotting process.
Please note that there may be small black spots in the rope which is a natural part of untreated, non-bleached cotton. Also, this rope feels different than the coloured non-organic 4 mm ropes. It is harder and therefore becomes thicker in comparison when you are knotting.

*these measurements are approximate. I have measured them by weighing 10 meters of the rope, divided the result by 10 to get the average per meter weight. Then I have multiplied it by the amount of grams in a spool to get the average length in each spool. Therefore, this only gives a clue to how much each contains and is by no means exact.

3-ply rope
3-ply rope is the perfect cord for beginners. It holds together very well during knotting (as long as you have taped the ends to avoid fraying) whereas single strand string can sometimes untwine slightly requiring you to twist it during the process. When you do fray the ends they get a wavy look unless you brush them out, but the fibers will tend to twist slightly. 3-ply rope gives a more textured than soft look and is very common in plant hangers for instance.
The organic 3-ply rope is harder than the non-organic 4 mm rope because it is twisted tighter. This cord has no stretch to it which can be an advantage in some projects.
