Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the material composition of this string?
  It is a highly durable synthetic or treated cotton-blend twine designed to mimic the flexibility of natural plant fibers ("bush rop") while offering superior colorfastness and longevity.
• How many 50g balls do I need to weave a standard-sized bilum bag?
  A small purse or shoulder bilum typically requires 2 to 3 balls (100g–150g). Large traditional carryalls or market bags can take 6 to 10 balls depending on the tightness of your looping technique.
• Will the Light Orange 814 color bleed when the finished bag is washed?
  No. This twine is manufactured with high-grade industrial dyes to ensure the shade remains bold and resists fading or bleeding during standard hand-washing cycles.
• Is this string suitable for crafts other than bilum looping?
  Yes. Due to its excellent knotting strength, it works perfectly for macramé, crochet projects, durable gift wrapping, and general household tying needs.
