Velvet Cord


velvet cord

This is actually called velvet tubing-- but it has a cotton cord in the center. In order to make this cord flexible, the fabric was cut on the bias which exposes the grain a bit. Like all velvets, this cord is steamable (do not put the iron directly on the cord)to revive the nap a bit.
This cord has lots of uses-- for a neclace, to tie back curtains, decorative tie for little bags and magic tricks
It is round, 3/8" in diameter. $3.75 per yard

WEBBING

webbing

This is similar to the stuff you find being used as backpack straps. Ours is a tad bit thicker though. Use it for straps of all kind-- on bags, as a leash, as the support for costume parts.... what ever you would like.
We carry webbing in synthetic or cotton. The synthetic is a bit more durable and stretches less. The downside, is that it can be a bit slippery. The cotton is nicer to hold (I prefer it on a totebag), but fades with exposure to the sun and washing quicker. If you are using it in an application where you will need to tie the webbing, the cotton is probably better for you.

1" cotton $1.75 per yard. Sold in yard increments.
