Celtic or elven style braided handfasting cord in delicate forest green and ivory shades of recycled cotton yarn.

A completely natural, biodegradeable and eco friendly wedding cord.

Beautifully soft and flexible, this ethical wedding ribbon is made from 100% recycled cotton yarn that is sustainably produced and contains no added dyes. This yarn has been awarded the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, a guarantee it contains no substances harmful to human health or the environment.

Your handbinding cord is handmade to order and held at each end with natural hemp cord ties. Hemp is one of the most sustainable and eco friendly crops on the planet.

Celtic braids are considered endless paths woven together, and they represent eternity in love, loyalty and companionship, making handbinding cords containing Celtic braids an expressive and meaningful symbol with which to bind yourselves to one another.

This cord follows my own original 'Celtic / Elven braid' handfasting cord design ~ the braiding pattern and colour placements/combination in this item was first brought to you on Etsy by Fable & Drifter. Please support creativity and innovation rather than imitation. Thank you :)

-- ORIGINALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP:
Fable & Drifter handfasting cords are my own original designs, which I created from traditional Celtic patterns. I never knowingly copy another seller's work. Please support creativity and innovation, rather than imitation. Thank you :)

Each handfasting cord is made to order with positive energy and blessings. I'm mindful that this item will form an important element of your special day, and I always pay careful attention to details. Please see my shop reviews!

This item is hand-made from natural fibres; this means the cord you receive may differ slightly in appearance from the pictures due to variance in the natural dyes and materials used, making your cord both beautiful and unique. Slubs and frays in the soft cotton yarn add to the rustic charm of this natural product.


-- ECO FRIENDLY & ETHICAL:
This is a sustainable and environmentally friendly item hand-made from all natural fibres and containing no synthetic materials. These handcrafted products have been designed for couples who care for the environment and their impact on the world, and who wish to express their love and respect for nature and the Earth within their ceremony. The ancient Celts revered and honoured nature, and my working practices and products aim to help preserve that spirit in our modern world. I only use packaging that is 100% biodegradable and recylable. My prices reflect my costs and a modest fee for my time in making your cord.
