T.W Evans Cordage 43-070 7/32-Inch Evandale Cotton Clothesline 100 Hank

This clothesline was recommended as the best one for making bowls on my sewing machine, which I enhanced with machine embroidery. They are fun to make and I am so pleased with how they turned out, I bought more ... new go to crafting for gift giving.

I got this to replace very similar clothesline that was about 10 years old. If this T.W Evans Cotton Clothesline is as good as the old, similar line, I'll be happy. It was cheaper than generic clothesline at local hardware stores. It's not too stretchy - the synthetic core gives strength and breaking resistance. It holds knots well too.Some reviews complain it's "white" enough. It's not meant for art supplies, it's a wash line - who cares if it looks a little off-white. It works fine for

When my clothesline broke after five years, I made the mistake of researching different types of clothesline materials, which nearly drove me bonkers. I wasn't sure what my original one was, but it seemed mostly synthetic. I checked out my neighbor's and he had cotton. So many pros and cons, cotton holds knots better but sags more, synthetic is harder to knot but might last longer, plastic coated metal seemed sturdy but how easy would that be to put up, would I need extra hardware to clasp it or would the coating crack? WAY too many factors for what should have been a simple purchase. After reading 8 million reviews on Amazon and other various articles, I decided on this one: Cotton but with a "synthetic core". Seemed like a good compromise, would knot well and yet hopefully sag less. Only time will tell, and I will update this if anything drastic happens, but so far it seems like a good choice.It was wound well, so unraveling was pain-free, no crazy tangles. I restrung it to my existing pulleys with ease and in only a few minutes. It knotted very easily much to my relief. Hung a full line of clothes and it does sag somewhat but so did my old one, I can't say it sags any unusual amount and I add a "spreader" to decrease sagging. I HIGHLY recommend a tensioner for clotheslines, it makes it so easy, you only have to make one knot to the one end of the tensioner, then you can just feed the other end of the line through the other end of the tensioner. Tightening is easier later with one too, just pull it a little tighter, no untying anything. It's slightly thicker than the synthetic one I had, but fits my pins fine and seems sturdy. I do notice the weave is looser than what I'm used to though, so I'm hoping it won't fray very quickly, but only time will tell. The price was great. If I can get another five years from this one, I'll be perfectly happy.

Used the rope for making a rope basket. It worked very well. It was sturdy and held up well after stitching.

It strong and is working well as a 50ft clothes line
