Does this cording fray easily? I would like to use it for a VBS craft stringing beads with small children.

It depends on what you are using it for: I used a single strand as a necklace and it frayed in about five days from wear and tear, for a craft it should be fine.

Hi ~ I have only used the Fireline fused & the Beadalon Wildfire which is thermally bonded. I've used some threads for their colors which might be considered woven or braided, but I like the strength of the two I mention here at the very small diameters offered for my beads that have tiny holes. I'm sorry that I can't answer your question more specifically.

I would say you could string around 8-10 /inch, that depends on the size you want though too. They do work quite well. They are a nice addition to jewelry making.

Mine did fray on one area where the cats really claw hard on the carpet, but it took a few years for them to do it. I have huge cats that are very strong, so your cats might not be able to fray it. The sisal has not frayed at all. This is a very sturdy and well made piece, the best I could find for my cats. I have been very happy with it and so have they.

Yes. It is what I am using. I like the string. It will not runaway anymore.

It is very thin cord, so a little knot isn't noticeable. I've also used a little super glue and rolled the end to a point, if I need to avoid a knot.

My kids love ours. It is kinda of difficult for anyone under ten, so parent may need to assist. It's not cheap plastic. I was happy with the purchase. You can buy string from a craft store, too, just fyi :)

Hi Margaret;Sorry to hear about your problem.I have never experience this.and have purchased many over the years.You must have gotten some very cheap or old(rotten) ones.I have some that are several years old and still good and strong.For some reason they are fairly expensive,usually about $3 for 5 strings.Yomega sell a package of them that I find very good,some are the normal string color and some are colored,but all are good,and I have never experienced fraying.A string should last for hours of normal use,and it won't fray,but will break in the end.Drop me an e-mail ,and let me know how you made out.Jerryguild@Sympatico.ca Hi Margaret;Sorry to hear about your problem.I have never experience this.and have purchased many over the years.You must have gotten some very cheap or old(rotten) ones.I have some that are several years old and still good and strong.For some reason they are fairly expensive,usually about $3 for 5 strings.Yomega sell a package of them that I find very good,some are the normal string color and some are colored,but all are good,and I have never experienced fraying.A string should last for hours of normal use,and it won't fray,but will break in the end.Drop me an e-mail ,and let me know... » Read More Hi Margaret;Sorry to hear about your problem.I have never experience this.and have purchased many over the years.You must have gotten some very cheap or old(rotten) ones.I have some that are several years old and still good and strong.For some reason they are fairly expensive,usually about $3 for 5 strings.Yomega sell a package of them that I find very good,some are the normal string color and some are colored,but all are good,and I have never experienced fraying.A string should last for hours of normal use,and it won't fray,but will break in the end.Drop me an e-mail ,and let me know how you made out.Jerryguild@Sympatico.ca « Show Less

I used this for decoration in a capey way, and did not cut it. It's gone now, so I can't answer honestly. HOWEVER, if I remember right, the knots are KNOTS, and not like knitting or crochet.... So I do not THINK it will ravel..... Sorry I can't help more !Joline

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

Hi, my daughter ties the ends together like most of the bracelets made from that type of material. She loves the loom, I actually had fun with it too!

The string is very easy to pull. My daughter-in-law has one she uses frequently, has not had a problem with the string. It is made to last for a long time.

Well, you could definitely put beads on it, it's thin enough, however, it is also quite strong (I hung a large, solid wood welcome sign on my front door with it). So it's less pliable than it looks. I did tie knots in it, but they are visible ... you can't make them really small, at least I couldn't. But I don't have a lot of strength in my hands, so perhaps you would fare better.

No it does not fray when cut, however, I don't know about over time. I always hem it in.

I use this thread for hand embroidering Japanese characters and English letters on martial art belts (satin stitch). However, the thread is very thin and I find that I need to double the thread or it would take longer than I have time for. It also tangles and frays very easily if you are not careful.

You can't prevent fraying of the ends. At least I did not have success. It is on of the big downers I experienced. Once the ends are frayed, then the end clips and the pull stops are impossible to use.

I actually didn't use mine that long. All I threw it away about a month later because It became stiff & tangled. I was too scared to dye my closure because I wasn't exactly sure about it but the stiffness gave me the answer I needed.
