Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike standard cotton ropes that rely on pesticide-heavy virgin crops, GANXXET utilizes post-consumer textile waste. It is significantly softer than jute or hemp cords, making it easier on the hands during long sessions. Compared to synthetic polyester cords, it offers a natural matte finish and can be brushed out into a lush, voluminous fringe that defines high-end macramé work.

How to use it

1. Measure and cut the required lengths of cord, allowing extra for intricate knotting.
2. Secure your foundation (dowel or ring) and attach the cords using a lark's head knot.
3. Execute your design using square knots, spiral knots, or half-hitch patterns.
4. To create a boho-fringe, use a fine-tooth comb to unravel the ends of the cord.
5. Trim the fringe with sharp textile scissors for a clean, professional edge.

Sustainability & ethics

GANXXET transforms textile industry waste into artistic treasure. By repurposing cotton scraps from the fashion industry, they save thousands of liters of water that would otherwise be used in cotton production. Their "no-water, no-dye" process involves sorting recycled fibers by color before spinning, which eliminates chemical runoff into local waterways. The brand is B Corp certified, reflecting a total commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
