Bakers twine

Bakers twine is a light string or strong thread composed of two or more smaller strands or yarns in different colours twisted together. The traditional colour was red and white but it now comes in a host of colours and can be used for so many crafts as well as baking. So called baker's twine because its earlier use was for bakeries to tie paper wrapping around loaves of bread, cake boxes, and the like.

The ones in this photo are from Divine Twine, but you can now find it everywhere.
