Micro - Nano Spools

Micro cord and nano cord are very small in diameter and are great for smaller crafting projects. Both cord types come on a reusable plastic spool that can be used for any other string, rope, or cord. Make bracelets, lanyards, key chains, fishing line, handle wraps, and much more. Micro and nano cord are also a great addition to any emergency survival kit.
