Last Updated: June 2025

But what is twine used for, exactly? From securing cartons to crafting and agriculture, this humble product is a workhorse in both commercial and everyday settings.


What Is Twine?

Twine is a strong cord made by twisting together two or more strands of yarn or fiber. Depending on its thickness, it may be referred to as twine rope — especially when it takes on heavier-duty applications. It is available in a wide range of materials, thicknesses, and finishes.

Common twine fibers include:

  • Natural fibers: cotton, jute, sisal, hemp, coir, henequen
  • Synthetic fibers: polypropylene, nylon

Twine can be waxed or unwaxed and often comes in spools or balls for easy dispensing in warehouse, lab, or production line settings.

Twine’s strength, flexibility, and availability make it a staple across many industries. Here’s how businesses and individuals commonly use it:
