Want to make important and official looking documents yourself? With this yarn in hand, you are on the right path! The cotton twine is actually a part of the office supplies for lawyers and notaries: it comes in many different colour combinations, each of which represents a particular Federal State in Germany. The twine is used to bind official documents in each state. The colour combinations are the key (although some are used by two states): yellow/black is for Baden-Württemberg and Sachsen-Anhalt while white/red/green is for Nordrhein-Westfalen and Rheinland-Pfalz. You get the picture. For us, however, these twines just have a great decorative look even without meaning anything so important and can be used accordingly for packaging purposes, etc.
