Japanese decorative knots

[drjbrennan]

I was looking for suppliers of 'asian cord' to tie the projects from a japanese book I got on ebay.

The website looks a bit impenetrable, any advice? any european or US sources for this range of products?

Find a company specialising in soft furnishings in your area and pay them a visit - you might just be surprised at the variety of suitable cords they stock - the price might surprise you too!

Hi.  'Tis true, I have cord suitable for this craft.  I have braided cord available in small lengths (this is how it's sold, I am still looking for a suitable bulk source) but satin cord by cut lengths or rolls.  The look achieved with satin cord is different than with braided, but the knots are the same.  

I don't have all my cord online, so contact me directly at wangc@daoofsilk.com and I can tell you all about the colours, sizes and prices.
