Max Knives PARA30ROSE — 4 mm paracord, long 30 metre length, pink

Overview

This long thirty-metre length puts 4 mm pink paracord within reach in quantities that allow batch work. A braid eats up several metres quickly, and an uncommon shade is rarely found lying in a drawer: drawing on the same cord from one end of a project to the other guarantees a consistent colour across every piece. The reserve serves outdoor uses too, where pink flags a rig or an object beyond any doubt.

Enough to work in batches

Thirty metres is the format for someone who braids for other people: collars for a litter of dogs, bracelets for a group, lanyards for a collection of knives. Working from one continuous length avoids the shade differences that creep in between two separate purchases, and lets each piece be sized to its owner, whether a slim wrist or a sturdy animal neck. Whatever remains after the run always finds a use, from a key fob cord to a garden tie.

Technical specifications

Parachute cord in a 4 mm diameter, pink, supplied as one continuous 30 metre length. The 4 mm gauge matches common braiding patterns and stays compatible with the beads and buckles designed for paracord. The cord can be recut as often as a project demands, from a one-metre strand to the length of a tent guy line.

Care

A pale shade used in batches mainly asks that the reserve stay clean while you work it: rest the coil on a clear surface rather than on the workshop floor, since the cord passes through many hands before it is braided. Washing is done with clean water and no harsh detergent. Dry it before coiling again. Finished pieces worn daily, collars above all, get rinsed as regularly as the rest of the kit.
