Step-by-step projects utilizing this ideal material for tons of crafts due to its durability and flexibility!Parachute cord, which is now universally known as paracord, is a lightweight nylon rope originally used by paratroopers during World War II. It is now employed as a general purpose utility cord by military personnel and civilians alike.
