This 550 parachute cord is one of the most versatile supplies you can have in your crafting kit or emergency gear! Measuring 16 feet long and about 4.5-5mm thick (that's 3/16 inch for us non-metric folks), this 100% nylon cord is seriously strong - rated to hold 550 pounds, hence the name. The cardinal red color is vibrant and perfect for creating colorful bracelets, lanyards, keychains, or any paracord project you can imagine. But this isn't just for crafts - this is genuine survival cord that can be used for emergency situations, camping, hiking, or vehicle emergency kits. The inner strands can be separated for fishing line, sewing thread, or delicate tasks, while the outer sheath provides incredible strength for shelter building, securing gear, or makeshift repairs. Darice quality means you're getting consistent, reliable cord that won't let you down when you need it most. Whether you're making friendship bracelets with the kids, creating custom dog leashes, or building your bug-out bag, this paracord delivers both form and function. The possibilities are literally endless - from practical to decorative, this cord does it all. Having a few lengths of this on hand is just smart planning for both creative projects and unexpected situations. The quality is immediately apparent when you work with it - no fraying, consistent thickness, and that perfect balance of flexibility and strength that makes paracord so useful. This is one of those supplies that every household should have available!
