# Best 4mm Macrame Cord Source: https://cordandknot.com/best/best-4mm-macrame-cord Publisher: Cord and Knot. Picks are chosen from what each Amazon listing states, not from hands-on tests. Method: https://cordandknot.com/how-we-pick 4mm macrame cord (about 5/32 in) is the all-round size: the usual choice for plant hangers and medium wall pieces. With the thickness decided, spools differ in three ways. Construction: 3 ply cord gives firm, defined knots and unravels into wavy fringe, braided cord ties crisp knots and does not comb out, and some listings are 4 strand twisted, a plied cord with one more strand. Fiber: six picks are cotton and one is a braided polyester cord aimed at bags. Length: from 109 to 547 yards, which sets the price per yard shown with each pick. As a rough guide from published 4mm patterns, a 30 in plant hanger uses 6 or 8 folded cords of about 10 ft each, so 20 to 27 yards before the wrap cord and a 10 to 15 percent margin; a 109 yard spool covers three or four of those. This guide compares seven 4mm spools by what their listings state; nothing here was tested by us. For exact cut lengths, use the macrame cord calculator on this site. ## Picks ### 1.
