This handfasting cord is made in the softest recycled cotton cord in the deepest green colour.  It measures 7 feet long and 1 inch wide. This is quite a substantial cord and is much heavier than all of the others.  The charm attached to it is a celtic tree knot (#18), but it can be adorned with the charm of your choice.
Green, a shade in between yellow and blue, symbolizes harmony, freshness, creativity, productivity, safety, and positivity. It also stands for rebirth and rejuvenation, representing spring when plants get back their life after a chilling winter.  This darker green symbolizes tradition, nature and a woodsy vibe.
I braid with traditional Celtic braiding patterns.  I have just purchased a new Celtic knot book and as soon as I can convert the knots to braids I will hopefully come up with new patterns.
I make these cords in a smoke free home.  My lovely dog, Lola, is with me constantly and although I endeavour to make these free of her hair there may be some dog hairs floating through the air that find themselves attached to the cords.  If you find any, I apologize.
