Review on πŸ”— Lehigh Group 530X Jute Twine: Ultra-strong and Heavy Duty Twine, 190' Length by Jonathan Reddick

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Treated with some kind of petrochemical

This yarn was the WORST! I took it out of the box and couldn't breathe. It was treated with some kind of petrochemical and it was so powerful! I threw it away. I read online that most jute twines are treated with fungicides to keep them from going moldy. What worries me is that neither these nor most jute twines are listed anywhere on the packaging. I'm obviously sensitive to this and wanted to warn others before they buy it out of ignorance. If you have allergies that cause breathing problems, this cord is not for you! In fact, most jute twines may not be like that, but I've bought them elsewhere and they didn't smell as strong as here.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Short instructions
