Product Description

Flat Sinew is a flat, waxed polyester thread that is waterproof, rot proof, resistant to stretch, and extremely strong. It has a very high tensile strength for it’s size, it doesn't stretch when wet like string does, and because of the wax you can tie things up very tight. This makes Flat Sinew a great alternative to rubber bands for Tie-dye. Flat sinew is featured in our popular Tie Dye 101 DVD series for ease of use and the ability to tie clear and/or complex patterns. It comes in 125 or 900 ft lengths. It is also excellent for use with delicate fabrics which can be damaged by rubber bands. Plus, Flat Sinew won't get old, dry and brittle like rubber bands will over time.

I used rubber bands for years doing tie-dye but I find that I prefer the tension control that the sinew gives.
For real tight ties I wrap the sinew around the body of my washable marker and pull. It's better than cutting your finger.

There are ties you can make with sinew that are nearly impossible with rubber bands. It's a bit tough to work with at first but it gets a lot easier with practice. I use both sinew and rubber bands, each for different situations.

This is a great alternative to rubber bands for tie dye. It is so much easier to place your ties when you use these. I'll never use another rubber band for tie dye.

This is fun to use and works much better than rubber-bands when you are trying to tie something large. I use plastic to wrap my tie dye up with to let it set and this does turn the plastic yellowish were it is in contact with the flat swine but I have not had any problems with it changing the color of the clothing yellow.

It's good for very specific designs, but I find that rubberbands are still the best way for me to teach beginners.

This is great stuff. Just sticky enough to make tie dye easy. The sinew sticks to its self while you are tying the knots so they stay tight. The big roll is a great deal. I like being able to wrap the tie more than once. Thank you Dharma.

Works good, sometimes hard to grab on to and it will definitely leave evidence u used it.. that is if you were tying knots and tightening them. The flat design, has its benefits, but one down fall is the cutting into your fingers after prolonged use.
