I have been using this cord for many years. I was very happy to find a source after Hobby Lobby stopped selling it. I make phone cases to wear on a belt. The cases have been known to outlast the magnetic clasp! :)

The best for broom making!
Soy emprendedora, y estoy comenzando, para mi es muy dificil conseguir los insumos para mis pulceras, aqui donde vivo, pero gracias a Dios encontré a ESTAMBRES, y ahora con ellos hago mis pedidos de hilo espiga. En este caso use hilo espiga #18 rosa mexicano, me encanta el color, el hilo es duradero y resistente, no se decolora. Gracias 💜
