I saw a video you youtube from Crafty Gemini about making these baskets. I went to Walmart but all I saw was nylon rope. You have to have 3/16 (or so) cotton rope or cording. Instead of running around to a bunch of different stores in this hot weather. Does anyone know where I can find either one?

Maybe a hardware store?

I bought it some time ago (over a year), but I found some "green" cotton clothesline at Walmart. I will try to get out to my studio later today and look at the brand name and will post it for you.

An alternative is cording used for upholstery projects - they sell it at Joann's or find a local upholstery shop and buy it by the box = cheaper by buying in bulk.

Hardware store - I know they have it at Lowe's / Home Depot. Be careful if you use the upholstery cording - they sell a plastic version (DON'T USE) - it will become brittle and break.


Can't wait to see you bowl!

Tjhey have it at the dollar stores as well as the hardware stores just be sure it is cotton.

Even grocery stores carry the cotton; it's just clothes line to hang your clothes on. I've made them before.

Quilt shops carry this rope.
