Manufactured by Maine Thread in Lewiston, ME, this braided waxed cord is made of the same high-tenacity fibers as our twisted cord, but the yarn is finely braided rather than twisted. The effect of braiding creates a tightly woven cord with a different look and feel than its twisted counterpart. Ideal for any hand stitching project.
