On account of their elasticity and hollow cross-section - which enables them to collapse and deform when pulled - they form tight and stable knots. They are sold in various colors, sizes, and types, and are used to make items by binding them together with knots.

Another kind of scoubidou thread is supple, round, and hollow plasticized PVC tubes usually about 80 centimetres in length. The most common kind of thread used for the craft is flat and comes in many colors, sometimes called 'lanyard' or 'gimp thread,' often depending on region.

Thread Stitching the thin thread requires concentration. It uses commercially supplied plastic strips or tubes. Scoubidou returned to fashion in various countries, including United Kingdom countries, in 20. It is named after the 1958 song of the same name by the French singer Sacha Distel. It originated in France, where it became a fad in the late 1950s and has remained popular. Scoubidou ( Craftlace, scoobies, lanyard, or gimp) is material used in knotting craft. After 11 stitches, the two independent barrels rejoin for another 13 stitches until the end (right). Beginning at the left, it begins with quadruple box for 5 stitches, and then splits into single barrel (top) and double barrel (bottom) thus incorporating a window. A fairly complex box stitch is shown here.
