Zippers By The Yard - By Annie

Zippers by the Yard contain 4 yards of zipper chain and 16 color-coordinated extra-large pulls.* This packaging enables you to make single-slide or double-slide zippers of any length (up to 144") with little waste, saving money and time.

*NOTE: Black and white are also available in a pack with 16 different colors of pulls. Order White-MULTI or Black-MULTI to get black or white zipper chain with one pull each in 16 different colors: buttercup, dandelion, chartreuse, apple green, turquoise, robin's egg blue, parrot blue, tahiti, lipstick, raspberry, crazy plum, atom red, hot red, tangerine, pumpkin, and papaya.

Here's why we prefer these zippers:

• Dress and skirt zippers carried by most local stores are too small. The #4.5 size is just the right size for purses, bags, and totes.

• The wide zipper tape makes insertion easy.

• Unlike zippers with chunky, molded polyester teeth, these handbag zippers are soft and flexible, making them easy to sew through. (No more broken needles!)

• The nylon coil is strong and durable zip after zip.
