# Best Macrame Cord in Bulk: Large Spools and Multi-Roll Packs Source: https://cordandknot.com/best/best-macrame-cord-in-bulk 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 Buying macrame cord in bulk makes sense once you knot more than one or two pieces a month, sell at markets or teach a class: a 1000 yard spool usually costs far less per yard than a 109 yard roll. The catch is that a bulk spool locks you into one thickness, one color and one twist for a long time, so decide those before you look at price. 3mm suits most wall hangings and keychains, 4mm is the plant hanger size, and 5mm is for chunky pieces. A 4 strand twisted cotton cord ties firm knots and unravels into wavy fringe, which is what most bulk spools are. Check two numbers in each listing: total length, and whether that length is on one spool or split into short rolls of 20 to 35 yards, which is fine for keychains but leaves joins in a long wall hanging. This guide compares seven bulk options from 328 to 1000 yards using only what each Amazon listing states. Nothing here was tested by us. ## Picks ### 1. GOHOHOF Macrame Cord 3mm x 875yards Natural Macrame Cotton Rope Colored Macrame Rope Soft Cotton Cord Macrame Supplies Craft Rope Macrame Yarn for Plant Hanger Wall Hanger Dreamcatcher(Beige) An 800 meter (875 yard) spool of 3mm 4 strand twisted cotton cord in beige. A long spool with the twist stated, for makers who want wavy fringe and firm knots. What the listing offers: - The listing states 3mm diameter, 800 m per spool and a 4 strand twisted construction. - Described as free of chemical dyes, with no joints in the length, which matters on a spool this long. - The fringe is described as fluffy and wavy, which matches how 4 strand twisted cotton unravels. Limits to know: - Twisted cord does not comb out into the straight, soft fringe that single strand cord gives. - Beige in this listing; other colors are offered but each is a separate large spool. ### 2. GOHOHOF Cotton Macrame Cord 4mm 547yards Natural Colored Macrame Supplies, Soft Craft Cotton Rope for Plant Hanger Wall Hanger Dreamcatcher (Beige) A 500 meter (547 yard) spool of 4mm 4 strand twisted cotton cord in beige. A bulk spool at plant hanger thickness for anyone making hangers in batches. What the listing offers: - 4mm is the usual plant hanger size, and 547 yards covers many hangers at the common cut lengths. - The listing states 4 strand twisted cotton, free of chemical dyes and with no joints. - Plant hangers, wall hangings, bags and lampshades are listed uses, matching the 4mm size. Limits to know: - Twisted cotton is for indoor use; it absorbs water and is not a choice for pieces left outdoors. - One beige color in this listing, and the spool is large to store. ### 3. ZUEXT Macrame Cord, Beige White, 4mm x 547yds Cotton String Macrame Yarn A 500 meter (547 yard) spool of 4mm 4 strand twisted cotton cord in beige white. The listing estimates 25 to 50 simple plant hangers per roll. What the listing offers: - The listing gives a usable estimate: 25 to 50 simple plant hangers or 5 to 10 medium wall hangings per roll. - 100% new cotton is stated, with no scraps or recycled fabric, wound on a spool rather than a ball. - A one year free replacement warranty is mentioned in the listing. Limits to know: - The bullets call it both twisted and braided, so the exact construction is not fully clear from the listing. - Close in length and thickness to the GOHOHOF 4mm spool, so compare price on the day. ### 4. AIFUN Macrame Cord 3mm X 547yd Beige White Natural Cotton Macrame Rope A 547 yard (about 500 m) spool of 3mm 4 strand twisted cotton cord in beige white. A mid-size bulk spool at a lower price than the 875 and 1000 yard rolls. What the listing offers: - 547 yards of 3mm cord on one spool, enough for several medium wall hangings or a batch of keychains. - The listing says 100% natural cotton with no polyester, acrylic or recycled fiber blended in. - 4 strand twisted construction is stated, with the cord wound on a spool and bagged for storage. Limits to know: - About half the length of the largest roll here, so the price per yard is the deciding factor. - Only one beige white color is covered by this listing. ### 5. Timgle 1 Rolls Macrame Cord 3 mm x 1000 Yards Cotton Rope(Cream Colors) One 1000 yard roll of 3mm cotton macrame cord in cream. The longest single spool in this guide, sized for a run of wall hangings or a class supply in one color. What the listing offers: - 1000 yards on a single roll of 3mm cord, so long cuts for wide wall hangings come from one continuous length. - The listing states natural cotton fiber and describes the cord as fade resistant. - Wall hangings, bags, ornaments and wedding decorations are among the listed uses, all typical 3mm projects. Limits to know: - The listing does not say whether the cord is single strand, 3 ply or 4 strand twisted, which changes knots and fringe. - A single cream color, and a roll this size is heavy and bulky to store compared with smaller spools. ### 6. GOHOF Cotton Macrame Cord 5mm 328yards Natural Cotton Rope Colored Soft Macrame Supplies for Plant Hanger Wall Hanger Dreamcatcher (Beige) A 300 meter (328 yard) spool of 5mm 4 strand twisted cotton cord in beige. The thick option here, for large wall pieces and chunky knots where 5mm uses up cord fast. What the listing offers: - 5mm cord at 328 yards on one spool, the size used for large statement pieces and big plant hangers. - The listing states 4 strand twisted cotton, free of chemical dyes and with no joints in the length. - Wall hangings, plant hangers, bags and lampshades are listed uses. Limits to know: - The shortest length in this guide; 5mm cord runs out quickly on wide pieces, so large projects may need two spools. - A single beige color, and twisted cord gives wavy rather than straight fringe. ### 7. Macrame Cord 3mm x 590 Yards, 18 Rolls Natural Colored Macrame Cotton Supplies 4 Strand Twisted Cotton Cord Rope for DIY Knitting Crafts Knitting Plant Hangers Wedding Decor Eighteen rolls of 3mm 4 strand twisted cotton cord, 30 m each and 540 m (about 590 yards) in total.

What the listing offers: - 18 named colors, including greens, blues, reds, pinks, yellows, purples and black, in one pack. - The listing states 3mm 4 strand twisted cotton wound on drums so the cord unwinds without tangling. - About 590 yards in total, which suits a class, a batch of keychains or colored accents on larger pieces. Limits to know: - Each color is only about 33 yards, too short for the long cuts of a wall hanging in one color. - Short rolls mean joins if a single color has to run through a large project.
