❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Bag Cord
What is Thai cord for bags?
Thai cord is a round polypropylene cord, sold in 500 g skeins: it is stiff and holds its shape, which is why it is widely used for structured bags, shoppers and crochet baskets.
How much does bag cord cost?
Bag cords start at €3.90 (CowBoy). Recycled cotton and Thai cords usually cost between €6.50 and €9.90; models with lurex, microfibers, and large skeins go up to €15.60. Shipping is free over €29.90.
Cordino or cordoncino: what's the difference?
They are two names for the same type of yarn: a round cord for crocheting bags and baskets. The name varies depending on the region and manufacturer (for example, Mondial's "Cordoncino"); the choice depends on the fiber, thickness, and meters per skein.
What crochet hook should be used with bag cord?
It depends on the cord: Thai cord and microfiber are usually worked with 2 to 4 mm crochet hooks, while recycled cotton cords use 3 to 8 mm. Check the recommended size on the product page.
What is the difference between bag cord and tape?
Cord is round and stiff, ideal for structured bags. Tape is flat and stretchy, and can be worked quickly with large crochet hooks for soft, spacious bags.
Is polypropylene or recycled cotton cord better?
Polypropylene (Thai cord) is stiffer and suitable for highly structured bags; recycled cotton is softer and more natural, ideal for baskets, macramé, and less rigid bags.
Which cord is softer for a crocheted bag?
For a softer bag, choose recycled cotton cords such as Macra-Crochet or Cordoncino, or Swan microfiber. Polypropylene Thai and Italico cords are stiffer and create more structured bags.
How much cord do you need for a bag?
It depends on the design, stitch, and dimensions. Compare the meters on the product page: 500 g skeins range from 450 to 600 m, while 250 g recycled cotton skeins range from 55 to 200 m.
