This 0.8mm nylon thread is a strong, flexible Chinese knotting cord that’s perfect for a wide range of jewellery-making and craft projects. Its high-quality synthetic fibres are resistant to fraying, making it ideal for macramé, bead stringing, kumihimo, shamballa bracelets, mala necklaces, and intricate knotted designs.

Each set includes 10 rolls, each 10 metres long, in a versatile range of colours: black, white, beige, grey, brown, evergreen, navy blue, red, pink, and light sapphire With so many colours at your fingertips, you’ll always have the right shade ready for your next project — no need to buy individual rolls.

For reference, a knotted mala necklace takes around 2.5–3 metres, so each roll is enough for approximately 3–4 necklaces. Having this mix means you can create a variety of designs without waiting for extra supplies, making it both cost-effective and time-saving.

This set is perfect for makers who love variety, enjoy experimenting with colour, or want a ready-to-go cord collection for different styles and occasions.

Hardening Nylon Cord Ends for Easy Threading - Best Methods

1. Nail Glue (Recommended) – Fast-drying and strongest option. Nail glue absorbs into the nylon without adding bulk, unlike nail polish or super glue, making it easier to thread through small bead holes.

2. Super Glue or Nail Polish – Creates a stiff tip, but can sometimes add extra thickness, making threading more difficult for fine beads.

3. Waxing the Cord (Beeswax or Thread Wax) – Rubbing the tip with beeswax or thread conditioner adds some stiffness while keeping flexibility. Ideal if you want a non-permanent, natural option.

4. Heat Sealing with a Lighter – Gently melting the end of the cord creates a hardened tip. Be careful not to overheat, as the nylon melts easily.
