I know I’ve gone on and on about my love for Japanese masking tape, but I don’t think I’ve expressed my STRONG feelings for bakers twine. I love the stuff! I love how it appears so delicate, but is so strong. I love the sweet cheerfulness it brings to anything it adorns. I love how it can be used in so many ways and always brings a smile to my face. I love to see it wrapped around baked goods, paper goods, gifts and the vase on my desk. I love to see ornaments, gift tags and just about anything else hanging from it. I love it. I just do.
I went hunting for bakers twine in colors beyond the red/white, brown/white etc. currently available. I looked and searched and hunted to no avail. I thought I can’t be alone in this bakers twine infatuation. There must be others who would enjoy appreciate crave some other colors of this twisted goodness. After many months researching, testing and calculating, I decided to bring some to the marketplace. If all goes well with production, it should be available in November. I’m trying to be as earth-friendly as I can with this product; 100% cotton and wound onto cardboard cones so it will be bio-degradable, minimal packaging and recycled or re-cyclable shipping materials. Below is a photo of the colors to come.
This photo is of samples I hand twisted to give me a visual for color selection. The colors of the final bakers twine will very close to those in the photo, but the twist will be a tad different.
During the testing process a couple of samples were produced. I’ve measured and packaged them into 15 yd increments and have made them available in my etsy shop. I have a very limited supply in a lovely cranberry red and natural color combination. Because the natural is a light creamy color, I think it gives the twine a vintage feel. It’s 100% cotton and very soft to the touch. It’s a little bit thicker than your average bakers twine and twisted a little more loosely.
If you want to know when the final colors are available (Final colors will be aqua/bright white, orange/bright white, yellow/bright white, apple green/bright white, and black/bright white.) leave a comment on this post or shoot me an email at whiskergraphics [at] gmail [dot] com.

I love it so much I just ordered two more in both the cranberry and apple colors. Thanks for such a great product! I plan on using my twine to wrap Christmas gifts this year that I’m home baking. : )

I am so excited about the black and white, ok, and the orange, shoot, the greeen too, and that blue. Oh, and yellow, gotta have yellow.
Oh what a wonderful discovery – the twine and your blog! I especially adore the twine in the beautiful apple colour…please let me know when I might be able to purchase some from your sweet little store. I’d love some in the cranberry/white too – will that be available also?
