Synthetic Sinew is one of those items that is so very useful for Tie-dye and Shibori. It's white so no more worries about it potentially staining the fabric. 100% wax coated Polyester (so no deer harmed in the making)
Synthetic Sinew is a waxed polyester thread that is waterproof, rot proof, resistant to stretch, and extremely strong. It has a very high tensile strength for its size and because of the wax you can tie things up very tight. This makes our sinew a great alternative to rubber bands for tie-dye. It is also excellent for use with delicate fabrics which can be damaged by rubber bands. Sinew won't get old, dry and brittle like rubber bands will over time. Great for Shibori pole wrapping and other techniques as well.
Made in the US!
*Please keep in mind that the more you split the strand, the weaker it becomes. For full test strength, do not split.
