Silk Cord 5mm

Silk Cord 5mm by the Metre

Silk cord 5mm is a sturdy, non-elastic cord with a twisted structure and a distinct shiny finish. You'll find it in this category by the metre, ready for home decoration projects, curtain trims or hat finishing. The gold and silver shades in particular work well as a stand-in for metallic cord, giving that same lustre without the stiffness. Whether you need a short length for a single project or more for a batch of items, the cord is sold by the metre so you order exactly what you need.

Twisted structure and shine

What sets this cord apart is the tight twist running through it. That construction gives it body, so it holds its shape when used as trim or edging rather than going limp. Combined with the shiny surface, it reads as a more refined alternative to plain cotton or synthetic cording, especially in gold and silver tones where the metallic-like effect really comes through.

Common uses

Because the cord is firm rather than elastic, it lends itself to applications where structure matters:

• Curtain cord and tiebacks for drapery finishing
• Decorative trim on hats and millinery work
• Home decoration accents, from cushion edging to wrapping and gift trim
• Replacement for metallic cord in gold or silver, wherever a subtle shine is needed

Care instructions

Silk cord 5mm can be washed up to 40°C. Ironing isn't recommended, since heat can flatten the twist and dull the shine. Keep that in mind when combining it with fabrics that do need ironing, and treat the cord separately during care.

Ordering by the metre

You order this cord by the metre, so short lengths for a single hat or curtain project are just as easy to arrange as longer runs for multiple pieces. The range covers several colours, with gold and silver as the standout options for a metallic look. Orders ship from our Tilburg warehouse, and the assortment is broad enough to cover both one-off projects and repeat business needs.

In short

Silk cord 5mm gives you a firm, shiny cord for curtain trims, hat decoration and home accents, with gold and silver doubling as a metallic cord alternative. It's washable at 40°C, sold by the metre, and available in a range of colours. Have a look through the collection to find the shade and length that fits your project.
