This is a braided cord made by knitting together bundles of threads in blue, cream, brown, and other colors. It can be used in various ways, such as for obi締め (sash ties) and haori紐 (coat cords) for Japanese clothing, or combined with tsumami zaiku (folded fabric crafts) for decorative knots. Please refer to the image for the thickness. I apologize for using a ruler as I don't have calipers or other detailed measuring tools. Length: 200cm 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 has a lot left over, so I'm offering them to someone who will use them. This is a slightly less stiff and softer braided cord for its thickness. The cut ends are taped, so please remove the tape before use.
