This is a 10m (approx. 33 ft) spool of 1mm twisted waxed hemp cord. The waxed cord makes it easier to string beads for custom projects. This twine is prepared to standards for candle wick, so you could use it for your homemade candles also. Hemp rope historically has been used in sailing for millennia because it was the strongest natural material for rope and netting without compromising flexibility.
