Cotton Cord 5mm

Cotton Cord 5mm: Sturdy Finish for Textiles

Cotton cord 5mm is a solid, versatile trim made from 100% cotton, used for finishing hoods, cuffs and drawstring closures. The thicker diameter gives it a firm grip while keeping a natural, soft feel against the skin. You'll find it here as full rolls of 50 metres or cut by the metre, whichever suits your project. Wholesale pricing kicks in when you buy the complete roll, which makes it a practical option for makers who go through cord regularly.

Applications for 5mm Cotton Cord

This cord shows up in a lot of garment finishing work, mainly because it combines strength with a clean look. Common uses include:

• Hood drawstrings on hoodies and jackets, where the cord needs to hold its shape and pull smoothly through the channel
• Closures and decorative details on backpacks and bags
• Adjustable cords on sweatshirts, joggers and sportswear
• Craft projects such as bag handles, trims or custom accessories

Because it's pure cotton, the cord takes dye well and knots without slipping, something synthetic alternatives don't always manage.

Buying by the Metre or by the Roll

You can order cotton cord 5mm by the metre if you only need a short length for a single garment or repair job. For businesses or frequent users, the full 50 metre roll works out cheaper per metre and saves reordering. This fabric wholesaler pricing structure means small workshops and hobby sewists both get a fair deal, whether it's one metre or the whole coil.

Why Choose This Cord

Cotton cord holds up to repeated pulling and washing without fraying quickly, which matters for anything worn daily like hoodies or bags. The 5mm width sits in a useful middle ground: thick enough to grip well, not so bulky that it looks clunky in a hood channel. It's suitable for both particulier and business use, from a single home sewing project to production runs for a small clothing label.
