This is the braid I am currently working on. It looks a bit like a flanged cord but it is actually woven into the plain background braid. Standard flanged cords are made by wrapping threads around a plain “core” which can give a very striped effect. This woven cord is made in a different way enabling a different effect.

The problem with cords is that you can only have 2 or 3 ply, which means the number of colours is limited
