Years ago we thought it would be fun to see what happens to our thread after it leaves the factory, and so began the collection of 101 Uses for Waxed Cord. The amazing uses that have been revealed to us have been astounding. From basket weaving to book binding, macrame to mocassins, and everything in between. We've had this list going for a while, but we're not done yet!
Can you help us out? What uses for waxed thread have we left off our list? Let us know by dropping us an email.
