Craft Twinery

Craft Twinery, an online supplier of twine, cord and rope for makers

Craft Twinery is an online craft supplies retailer operating from the United Kingdom and forming part of the Rope Source Group, described on the site as a family business with more than 160 years of experience in the cordage industry. The catalogue is aimed at makers, gift-wrappers, decorators and DIY projects, and the company states that it offers over 1,000 products across twines, cords, ropes, fabrics and accessories.

The shop presents itself as a source of natural and coloured twines for creative work, with the claim that its strings and twines are UK made. Its range is organised into five main families: strings and twines, cords and braids, traditional ropes, equipment and fabric, plus a clearance section for surplus stock.

Strings and twines

The twine catalogue is the broadest part of the offer and is grouped by type. Baker's twine appears in chunky, metallic, original, solid colour, sparkle, tri-colour and two-tone versions, alongside a Christmas twine line. The macramé selection is divided into coloured, natural and sparkle twine. Other twines listed include butcher's twine, coloured jute, flax, natural jute, polished cotton, polyester and sisal.

Cords, braids and traditional ropes

Under cords and braids, the store lists coloured cotton braids, baker's braid, magician's ropes, solid braid, sash cords and several families of piping cord: bleached braided cotton, bleached soft-twist cotton, bleached cotton, natural cotton and polyester. The section also covers cotton tubular banding cord, paracords, blind cords, coloured polypropylene braids, decorative polyester braids, soft cotton braid, flax cords and macramé cord.

Traditional ropes are sold by material and diameter. Cotton rope is offered in 10 mm, 20 mm, 24 mm, 28 mm and 32 mm twisted versions; jute rope in 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm and 8 mm twisted formats; and manila rope from 6 mm to 28 mm.

The equipment range covers yarn cones, reels and bobbins, plus rope fittings and hardware intended for winding yarn, fitting decking ropes or installing barrier ropes. The fabric line includes heritage hessian rolls, hessian sandbags and jute tape, presented as breathable and biodegradable materials suited to wrapping, decoration, plant protection and home texture.
