This twisted cord for macramé has a simple, yet deeply technical construction, where cotton is worked in multiple interwoven strands to create a strong, flexible, high-performance structure. The twisting of the yarn is not just a construction detail, but a design element: it allows the cord to maintain stability during processing, support the knot, and open up into soft, natural bangs typical of contemporary macramé. In fact, this multi-ply structure is designed to provide strength and at the same time workability, making it ideal for complex knots and articulated surfaces.
The recycled cotton base lends a natural hand and a clean textural presence, while the 3 mm diameter represents a perfect balance between precision and structure: thin enough to define detail, yet substantial enough to build volume. Cords of this type are widely used for decorative projects, tapestries, bags and textile installations precisely because of their ability to combine strength, flexibility and aesthetic performance.

The raw materials used in DHG's yarns are selected and purchased from areas of the world where each specific fiber expresses the best natural and performance qualities. Depending on the type, the fibers are sourced from vocated and traditionally specialized regions, chosen to ensure high standards of purity, fineness and textile performance.
Once selected, the fibers enter a transformation process that combines technical expertise and craftsmanship savoir-faire. In fact, yarns such as Baratti are made through careful twisting, largely carried out with a still strongly artisanal approach in the textile district of Prato, a historic international center for fiber processing.
This balance between global sourcing and local processing allows the characteristics of each fiber to be maximized, resulting in yarns that combine quality, identity and manufacturing tradition.
This cord is designed specifically for macramé.
Tips for working and care.
Our colors generally have high light fastness and wash fastness. Exceptions are fluorescent colors, which have low light fastness and may release color in the presence of alkaline or harsh soaps and with prolonged washing. The same applies to dark, bright colors. In all these cases, it is essential to test a small sample before starting the project, especially if these materials are combined with raw or light-colored fibers. In any case, it is always a good idea to dry artifacts away from direct sunlight, preferably in semi-shade.
A practical tip: Buying balls or spools of different baths can cause what is known as the barred effect: subtle variations in shade that seem invisible when comparing balls and spools, but become apparent once worked. Therefore, always be sure to buy some yarn in excess of what is needed for your project. We will be sure to send you spools and balls of the same lot.
Live colors.
