Rope for Soap on a Rope

lillybella · Dec 27, 2013

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can buy the nylon cord that is thick enough to use in making Soap on a Rope?

I do not want the finished ropes that can be bought at soap supply shops, but the rope on a spool or in bunches.

I think it is 10 mm.

Any suggestions>

Thanks,
Happy Holidays to Everyone

Check at a fabric store, they should sell rope on spools.

You can also check hardware store especially like Lowes or Home Depot. Not sure if they carry it but you may want to give it a try!

I got mine from Amazon.com. The only problem with using rope that comes on a spool is that you have to figure out a way to keep the ends from coming unbraided or unraveling. I finally used a hot glue gun on each end of the rope after I cut it off the spool. Clip both ends of the rope close to the cut with a paper clip first so it can't come unraveled after the cut.

Thank you.
What thickness did you buy? Do you have a link, please?

I was using paracord but it was too thin. I heat sealed the ends.
The glue gun is a great idea!
