Hemp cord — with its unique shape and texture — is a great choice for any crafter who wants to think green. This biodegradable twine is the most eco-friendly accessory you can find, and it’s useful for tasks around your home, as well, such as tying off plants’ stems in your garden, tying up gift wrap, or even bundling paper for recycling. It’s not just utilitarian, though, especially in this lush black.

Black is the color of mystery and elegance. It’s also the void where no color can reach, giving it a reputation and association with evil. However, ebony’s black hole lack of color also sets off bright colors beautifully. You can pair it with red for a sinister, dangerous, and yet alluring look, but it also sets off the light beauty of a sky blue or emerald green. This black hemp cord, the color of coal, can be interwoven with white or pale pink for a beautiful contrast.
