Cotton Clothesline for Coil Bowls?

Hi Lorraine,
I bought the 1/4", which worked wonderfully. I went back tonight, and bought
200 yds of it (12.96). I also picked up 3/16", the largest package was
100yds(4.99). And the best deal was the 75 yds of neon cord, which I got in
purple. that only cose 2.99....
Looks like I am set for awhile.
Good luck
Teri

I was there also and saw a blend, but wasn't sure whether to get it or not.
What thickness did you get?

I bought the blend at Home Depot, and it works just fine. It is very
sturdy
& shapes easily. I am going back today to buy more & to buy the thinner
clothesline.

Grrrrrrr.......can someone tell me where you buy this? I have just been
out to
4 stores and cannot find it anywhere. I live in Canada and I've been to
Zellers, Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire and Home Depot. Of course I just ripped
all
the fabric into strips, took off threads and ironed them ready to go.
I'm just
a little frustrated......wanted to try this today.

Thanks,
Lorraine

I did see the blended kind at Home Depot, which was cheaper than the cotton I
got at Home Hardware. Since Terbear said it worked good for her, I'll have to
go back and get some. But with the stuff I bought today, I just finished a bowl
about 5 minutes ago.......it is so cool. Thanks sooooo much for the
instructions, I really appreciate it! I'd like to make coasters and a hot pad
now.

How frustrating!
Can you find any kind of cord or rope? (Nylon, polypropylene?) I used
clothesline because it looked like it would work and 200 feet was
$11.50. Maybe they're calling it sash cord.

Looks like I'll be going back and getting some of the blended cord
then.....thanks.

Try using upholstery piping cord. It comes in several different sizes
and isn't terribly expensive. I know that Jo-Ann's carries it, I am
sure that anyplace that sells home dec fabric should. I have used the
big stuff that is very soft even........

I got 100 feet of 3/16" cotton clothesline at Wal-Mart for about $3.00 this
morning. It was in the section with the clothes hangers and hampers. I also
got a packet of jeans needles for my sewing machine for $1.50 so I figure
I'm set to go!

I grabbed 2 packages at walmart, right near the rest of the laundry
stuff/storage components....had to go on a hunt, just to make sure that
i hadn't lied to you about them carrying it.
