Twine has long been used as an incredibly versatile fastener for a multitude of purposes around the garden, home and workplace. In the garden and nursery environment it can be used for tying plants to their supports, bundling up materials and securing any loose items. Two types are available, manufactured either from cotton (= smooth) or jute (= rough). Both types are available in thicknesses of 2 mm or 3 mm and are sold by the weight of their roll (100 g), and not by length. A 50 gram option is also available for the roll of ‘2 mm (smooth)’.
