Parcel string / 100% cotton bakers twine / vintage gift tie ribbon cut to spec red white green black orange gold aqua gray new old stock

Description

It’s funny how basic cotton string, marketed/sold for multiple purposes, all looks and works well for any/all purposes… over the years, we’ve built a healthy rainbow collection of 100% cotton carpet warp and bakers twine, much of it decades older than we are, perfect for securing products fit shipping and gift giving… choosing this post-consuner-sourced product (instead of buying brand new cotton twine) means avoiding the creation of manufacturing demand and related emissions.

When you purchase this item, you’ll receive five yards from our secondhand-sourced collection of vintage cotton packing string. We will package it in 100% secondhand-sourced shipping materials and send it to you via ground shipping. If you live more than 250 miles from Minneapolis, this means you’ll likely pay more for shipping than the product (unless you make it an add-on to something paper-based that we can ship via media mail).

For more than one color, please choose ‘multiple colors’ option and indicate your color preferences, if you have them, in a message at time of order. Otherwise, we will select and send a combination of 3-4 colors totaling the yardage you select. Thanks!

Makes a great gift wrap accompaniment to our (sewing) pattern tissue paper packs!

Secondhand goods are embodied energy: choosing to purchase secondhand items instead of new extends the useful life of existing things and avoids the new manufacturing emissions that amplify climate change.

Choosing to be patient is good for our future. We’ll do our best to be good to you with this order. <3 Thanks for supporting our work!
