Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike standard cotton cords that require massive amounts of water and pesticides to grow, Bobbiny uses post-consumer textile waste that is shredded and spun. This cord is softer and more consistent than hemp or jute, making it easier on the hands during long sessions of knotting.

How to use it

1. Select the 3mm or 5mm thickness based on the scale of your project.
2. Cut lengths approximately 4 times the desired final height of your piece.
3. Secure cords to a wooden dowel or metal ring using a lark's head knot.
4. Create patterns using square knots, spiral knots, or clove hitches.
5. Comb out the ends with a fine-tooth comb to create a soft, sustainable fringe.

Sustainability & ethics

Bobbiny’s production facility in Poland uses solar power and focuses on circular economy principles. By using scraps from the garment industry, they prevent tons of waste from entering landfills while avoiding the toxic runoff associated with traditional textile dyeing.
