"I have to say, the cord I received was a little stiffer and glossier than what I was used to, which made tying knots difficult.

Not ideal for jewelry making if you need flexibility."

"I’m really impressed with the quality and flexibility of this cord. It’s perfect for making bracelets and necklaces, and the soft texture is a big plus.

"This cord is good quality and looks great for craft projects, but it’s a bit thin and shiny for my current needs. Next time, I’ll opt for a thicker size."
