This is a braided cord made by braiding bundles of yarn. It can be used in various ways, such as for obi締め (sash ties) and haori紐 (haori coat cords) in Japanese attire, or combined with tsumami zaiku (folded fabric crafts) for decorative knots. Please refer to the image for the thickness. I don't have calipers or other measuring instruments, so I'll have to use a ruler. Length: Approximately 490cm My mother purchased this as a B-grade item and used it for Japanese hair ornaments and small items, avoiding the damaged parts. She has finished making them, but there's a lot left, so I'm offering them to someone who will use them. *Please remove the tape from the cut ends before using.
