Outlet strings – how do they differ from regular ones and are they worth buying?

In the world of handicrafts, choosing the right material can be of great importance. More and more people are discovering that outlet strings are a great alternative to products from the regular offer - cheaper, ecological and perfect for handmade enthusiasts. What exactly is the difference between outlet strings and standard strings? And is it really worth reaching for them? We answer!

What are outlet strings?

Outlet strings are products that, for various reasons, are not on regular sale. They may come from the end of the collection, be the last pieces from a given color batch, consist of several sections, and sometimes have minimal shade differences, invisible in ready-made designs. The most important thing is that they maintain the quality and durability that make them perfect for any craft project.

What is the difference between outlet strings and standard strings?

1. Price

The most noticeable difference is the price. Cheap handmade strings from the outlet often cost even several dozen percent less than those from the regular line. This is a great opportunity to replenish your supplies without breaking your budget.

2. Color availability

In the outlet you will often find shades that are no longer produced, single skeins or limited colors. This is good news for people who are looking for something unique or want to create a design in an unusual palette.

3. Ecological character

Outlet is also a way to avoid wasting materials. By choosing such products, you support a more sustainable approach to creating handmade, macrame and crochet accessories.

4. Identical quality

Most important: the quality remains the same.Outlet strings are as durable, soft and comfortable to work with as their regular counterparts. The differences only concern availability and the reason for the discount, not durability or comfort of use.

Is it worth buying outlet strings?

Definitely yes - especially if you create often, use a lot of string or like to experiment with colors. Outlet is:

• saving,

• possibility of discovering unique colors,

• quality,

• a more ecological approach to handicrafts.

This is a great choice for both beginners and experienced creators.

What projects are outlet cords suitable for?

To everyone, really! You can use them to create:

• wall macrame and flower stands,

• baskets and organizers,

• carpets,

• handmade handbags,

• seasonal decorations,

• small projects such as key rings, cases or bookmarks.

If you don't need several identical skeins from the same batch, an outlet will be the perfect solution.
