Flax & Twine Cotton Twill Tape (3/8")

Flax & Twine Cotton Twill Tape is a flat, 3/8-inch-wide ribbon of 100% cotton that you weave, knit or crochet just like yarn. Because it’s a tape rather than a round strand, it lies flat and builds a dense, textured fabric with crisp structure, perfect for home goods that need to hold their shape.

Each cake is pre-wound and ready to use straight from the package, with no winding or untangling required. The cotton is soft in the hand but sturdy enough for everyday-use pieces like trivets, placemats and totes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is cotton twill tape?
Twill tape is a narrow, flat strip of fabric woven in a twill (diagonal or herringbone) pattern. Traditionally a sewing notion for binding edges and reinforcing seams, it’s also used by weavers, knitters and crocheters as a flat “yarn” that creates sturdy, structured fabric.

Can you knit or crochet with twill tape?
Yes. Treat it like a bulky yarn. Because it’s flat, let the tape twist naturally or keep it flat for a smoother surface, depending on the texture you want.

What can I make with one 50-yard cake?
One cake is enough for small projects like a set of coasters or a trivet. Larger pieces such as bags, baskets or rugs will need multiple cakes. (Add a specific project yardage if you have one, e.g. from a Flax & Twine pattern.)

Is it good for weaving on a frame loom?
Yes. It works well as weft on frame looms and hand looms, producing a firm, textured cloth.
