NB - international shipping* is temporarily disabled. New shipping rates by weight will be coming soon!
*EU shipping can only resume when the EU simplifies its VAT regulations on mail orders. Please complain to your MEP to try to change the regs for small non EU businesses! We can't calculate, charge and remit the different amounts of VAT to all 27 EU countries four times a year, when we are one person businesses. It is too much admin and too expensive to employ an EU based agent as currently required.
Looking for the perfect cord, from very fine to medium thickeness, to complete your Japanese style kinchaku or komebukuro drawstring bag? These strong, fine cords are perfect for adding loops around the top of your bag, for adding to o-mamori lucky amulets (free online tutorial here), or for making Asian knotwork projects (which is what they are primarily made for). Thicker medium cords in pretty colours are perfect for drawstrings. Co-ordinated loops and drawstrings echo the colours of your stitching or fabric.
