What 5mm polyester cord did you use for this project? Does Lion Brand make this type of cord?
Kim
I’m interested in the brand and type of polyester cord, too. I can’t find anything similar in the US.
KJ
Interested in the type of polyester cord and how much do I need? Most patterns give you the skein size needed or length.

This “pattern” is taken from a Russian video which is linked above. You’ll have to use Google Translate, but the original creator links to the website for the yarn. I’ve done this pattern several times with Lilys weight 4 cotton yarn and an H hook. If you search 5mm thickness cord though you’ll be able to find options for nylon rope, macrame thread, twine, lots of choices from many places
