Clear Dollar Stamps www.cleardollarstamps.com has a nice selection of twine and ribbon that are very reasonably priced.

HTH,

Walmart -- it's in the jewelry making section (crafts/fabric area).

Thanks I'll check them out. I wasn't sure if I had to get it at the hardware store.

If you are looking for something lighter weight, SU's linen thread kind of has the look of twine too. I think it's the perfect weight for cards.

I have heard Walmart as well but I do also love the thread-like twine SU! sells.

I found a huge spool of old-fashioned thick, bumpy twine at Big Lots in the hardware area for about $1. I remember having that around the house all the time in the "olden days" for wrapping packages for mailing. For finer twine, I use SU! Hemp Twine Natural or for colored finer twine, I use jewelry hemp from Michaels.

Wow thanks everyone. I didn't know there where so many types twine, linen thread string materials.
I'm just used to the "olden days" type that lutheran mentioned. Kind of makes me chuckle because we always had that stuff around when I was kid.

Another question, Do you think I could die the regular twine with Adirondack Alcohol Ink ?
