    Braided and Twisted Mason Twine

     BRAIDED MASON TWINE

    Braided twine doesn’t come apart even when reused. It is perfect for large jobs and everyday use. You can also nick it with a trowel and it won’t unwind. Another benefit is that braided twine does not spin as much as a twisted line, bringing plumb bobs to rest sooner.

    TWISTED MASON TWINE

    Twisted line is a fine choice for mason line and other marking needs. Choosing twisted line is often an economical choice. You get 10% more line per spool.
