In-Depth Review
Redefining Fiber Arts
GANXXET transforms textile industry waste into high-quality fiber for weavers and macrame artists. By reclaiming cotton scraps from garment factories that would otherwise head to landfills, they create a circular economy model for the craft world. This cord is not dyed; instead, the colors are achieved by blending recycled cotton scraps of similar shades.
Professional Softness and Strength
Despite being recycled, this cord is incredibly soft on the hands—a crucial factor for macrame artists who work with their hands for hours. It features a single-strand twist that allows for easy fraying to create beautiful fringes and feathers. The consistency of the twist ensures that knots stay secure while providing a high-end finish to wall hangings and plant hangers.
- 4mm single strand thickness for versatile use
- No water or toxic dyes used in production
- Available in over 40 natural, blended colors
- Woman-owned and operated brand
Circular Manufacturing Process
