I got this to do a smaller macrame strap while u wait for one of the bigger cords to be restocked. The hematite is beautiful, but be aware the 3mm is much more delicate. I barely pulled it and it tore clean thru, maybe it was a weak spot in production or maybe just user error. In any case, I was able to knot it and e6000 it into place to somewhat hide it, but I definitely prefer the thicker cord.
