What is Tuff Cord?
Tuff Cord is a 3-ply twisted bonded cord made from long nylon filaments. Super strong, it will not stretch or stain, and resists fraying and shredding under most conditions. Ideal for all sorts of projects including bead crochet, micro-macrame, cord making, and kumihimo braiding.
This special thread is spooled without tack, so it comes out without any marks or creases from the spool. Plus, you don’t even need to use a needle with Tuff Cord.
Which Tuff Cord is right for me?
- Island Cove carries Tuff Cord in the following gorgeous colors: Black, Blue, Brown, Gold, Green, Hematite, Navy, Pink, Purple, Rose, Turquoise, White, and Teal (in store only). Shop our collection of jewelry cording in our new eStore.
- We sell Tuff Cord in 3 sizes.
- Size #1 (.0108”) is great for micro-macramé projects using pearls, gems and fine crystals.
- Size #2 (.0132″) is a hard-to-find size which works wonders for laddering Swarovski crystal pearls.
- Size #3 (.0162”) is popular for micro-macramé and macramé projects and stringing stone, glass, metal and natural beads.
"I love the rainbow of colorful shades that Tuff Cord comes in, and how vibrant some of the colors are. This cord is soft and thin, giving you even more options when choosing beads to use in your designs. You can now make double-passes through beads with smaller holes which you couldn't do with S-lon beading threads." -- Sue Lennon
