Title says it all really.
Where on earth can you buy macrame cord in the UK?
I've tried ebay, but all I see on there is very thin stuff (0.9mm) and I'm looking for much thicker - like for making bags and such - probably around 4-6mm.
I couldn't find any in my local haberdashers and don't seem to be finding much on the 'net at all.

 Good morning!

I did a websearch for "twine for macrame" and found that amazon had twine from the store "Ben Franklin".  I went to the BF website and here is a link to several pages of 6mm macrame cord:

So, you can go to Amazon or directly to the store.

The following link is another site I found through the websearch:

I hope this helps, even though these are not in the UK.

Peace and love,

Diane

My name is Aiten and I'm from Romania.  I can buy for you some macrame cord. I can also crochet various macrame for furniture decoration and send it to you in exchange for a certain sum of money. I'm waiting forward to hearing from you.

Try Texere, Bradford + macrame yarn - suggest you go for the 5 mm recycled cotton. Rings may be obtained from Fred Aldous, Manchester
