The 4 mm white piping cord is braided from cotton and sits between the finest and the medium size. You buy it by the metre; a full roll holds 400 metres.

• Sold: per metre
• Full roll: 400 m

The difference from 3 mm

That one extra millimetre makes the edge slightly more visible while it still looks delicate. That is why 4 mm is a safe choice if you are in doubt: on back cushions, dining chairs with a drop-in seat or a headboard with crisp seams, the piping traces the shape without demanding attention.

Ordering tip

First cover the cord with a strip of the same or a contrasting fabric and stitch it into the seam. Add up the perimeter of all your parts before ordering metres.
