Bobbiny Jumbo 9mm Braided Macrame Cord Beige - Large Craft Cordage

Our review of the Bobbiny Jumbo 9mm Braided Macrame Cord (Beige) finds it best suited to crafters who want a robust, eco-conscious cord for large-scale projects; the single biggest reason to buy is its 108 yds of soft, durable, OEKO-TEX certified recycled cotton with a polyester core that helps the cord hold shape. The cord performs well for plant hangers, wall hangings, rugs and baskets, and offers a consistent diameter and color created from mixed recycled fibers, making it a dependable choice for projects that need a thick, long-lasting strand.

Key Features

• Jumbo 9mm diameter: Thick braided cord that creates bold, jumbo stitches and provides structure for large macrame pieces.
• 108 yds / 330 ft length: A long spool that reduces joins and is convenient for sizeable projects like rugs or multi-armed plant hangers.
• 100% recycled cotton: Made from recycled textile waste, offering a sustainable option for eco-minded makers.
• Polyester core for shape: The added core helps hold edges and form, useful for baskets, poufs and structured hangers.
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified: Tested across production stages so it is safe for items used around toddlers and people with sensitivities.
• No dyeing process: Color achieved by mixing shredded cotton fibers, giving a muted, consistent beige without additional dyes.

Who It's For

This cord is ideal for makers who work at a larger scale: macrame artists making statement wall hangings, crafters knitting or crocheting jumbo rugs and baskets, and hobbyists building sturdy plant hangers or poufs. Its length and thickness mean fewer joins and a quicker build for large pieces, and the polyester core adds useful structure for shaped items.

It is less suitable for projects that require a brushed, fluffy finish or very fine detail; if a soft, single-ply or brushed effect is needed, consider a finer or single-ply range instead. Also, those wanting bright, uniformly dyed colors should note the recycled mixing method results in a softer, blended shade.
