For this reason, it is sometimes called a 3-strand cord instead. It can be unwound to create some interesting macramé effects. You can also get 4-ply versions which throw an extra thread into the mix. The number of strands twisted together can be important for certain techniques such as adding beading within the cord as opposed to over the cord. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMultiply cord\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMultiply cord is the term given to anything with more than 3 strands held together.
