unicornwoman Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Does anyone know if round lace is available in kangaroo? The suppliers I've dealt with do not make it. The round lace they have is from India, like the rest of it and is NOT kangaroo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hedge Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I know Tandy used to carry it. I still have a couple of spools. You might try them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gunfighter48 Report post Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) I was at my local Tandy store today and they still carry kangaroo lace. A 25 yard spool is about $50 (depending on size). Didn't notice if it was round. John Edited April 8, 2008 by gunfighter48 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beaverslayer Report post Posted April 9, 2008 The round lace that Tandy carries is NOT roo lace. The roll is labeled "Made in India" and I've got a roll right here. It is very weak and is not that nice of a lace. More used for doing braids or other hobby type stuff. And I have no idea why I have it. As to sellers of round roo lace, I have yet to see any, but I'm thinking if you are an ingenuitive person, you could probably drill a small hole though a piece of hardwood, then soak your roo lace in water overnight, then draw it through the small hole and this may work.

I've found that the natural is very, very weak, but the dyed stuff is, for the most part, quite strong (except in just a few certain areas). We've used it for running stitch lacing in several of the pouches we do, & we use it alot for corners of wine glass holders & plant hangers. I've seen people make necklaces that look like barbed wire from it. It's relatively useful, once you do find uses for it. But again, I don't use the natural. It is too weak. russ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unicornwoman Report post Posted April 11, 2008 This site from New Zealand claims it is round kangaroo, but the pix isn't very inspiring. Not to mention that the $55 inspection fee from US Fish & Wildlife on all import/exports of kangaroo makes me hesitate to buy a trial sample. http://www.beadbazaar.co.nz/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
