    What are shoe lace spools?

    Shoe Lace Spools are exactly what they sound like - spools full of our high quality shoelace material no tip or aglets. One shoe lace spool measures about 144 yards of shoelace material for you to use - for reference, each 144 yard spool can make about 72 pairs of 36 inch laces. This amount of shoelace material for the prices we offer is one of the best deals in the industry! Our great selection of shoe lace spools are made from the same top quality lacing as our shoelaces. If you need more than 2 pairs of laces, but a spool is too much, try our economical, pre-cut and tipped 12 pair packs. They are a great in-between option. These economical packs are available to both our retail and wholesale buyers.

    Types of Shoe Lace Spools

    Shoe lace spools aren’t just offered in one type of material or style. Most of the materials from our shoelaces are available in spool form, and each has its own unique benefits!

    materials that we use

    Types of Shoe Lace Spools - Poly Blend

    Poly Blend

    Poly Blend Shoelace material is some of our most popular material. It does not break down as fast as typical shoelace material and is extremely reliable. Of our synthetics, poly dries faster when wet and is more abrasion resistant.

    Types of Shoe Lace Spools - 100% Cotton

    100% Cotton

    Cotton Shoelaces are known for being able to stay tied longer and are able to be pulled tighter than most other materials. Getting cotton shoe laces in spool form is perfect for projects where you need a string that can stay tied for a long time. A lace of pure cotton fibers are also a crowd favorite due to its traditional look and for its natural sourcing.

    Types of Shoe Lace Spools - Waxed Cotton

    Waxed Cotton

    Waxed Cotton Shoelace material has become the standard for style in a dress shoe. The sheen the wax finish gives a luxurious look. It also serves a practical purpose by making it dirt and water repellent. These natural cotton laces will last even longer with the wax finish.

    Types of Shoe Lace Spools - Nylon

    Nylon

    The nylon spool we have available is a great animal free option to use in place of a traditional rawhide leather lace. Like poly, nylon is lightweight and stretch/shrink resistant, but it is usually the softer and stronger option between the two.

    Styles that we offer

    Styles that we offer - Round

    Round

    Round shoelace spools feature shoelace material that is round in circumference as opposed to flat; this material is commonly found in athletic and some dress shoes. This shape is great for projects like knot work, making jewelry, and scrapbooking.

    Styles that we offer - Flat

    Flat

    Flat shoelace material lays flat, and due to their flat shape it offers a larger surface area for colors and prints to express more flare in your shoes. The width of flat laces varies, giving you countless options! These laces are used commonly for sneakers like Converse or Vans.

    Styles that we offer - Colors

    Colors

    We have the largest selection of color options for shoelace spools! While we offer the typical shoelace colors (Brown, Black, White, Grey, etc.), our Lace Spools also come in nearly every other color of the rainbow! With red lacing, blue lacing, green lacing, pink lacing, and more, we have the lace color you need for your project.

    Styles that we offer - Printed

    Ways to Use Shoe Lace Spools

    Our shoe lace spools are the perfect material to use for a variety of special projects, including the following:

    Ways to Use Shoe Lace Spools - Mask Making

    Mask Making

    In early 2020, mask making was not on the general public’s project list. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, making masks for everyday use has now become a necessity for many. Our shoe lace spools are perfect for creating masks quickly and efficiently so straps don’t have to be sewn from fabric. This can cut the mask making time in half.

    In mask making, our lace material can be used with all different patterns - everything from ear loops to multiple types of ties around the back of the head. Our shoelaces provide a comfortable material that is less likely to chafe on the ears than many other types of string material, and its durability will allow the masks to stay upright on the face without stretching out or breaking.

    Typically, each mask will require four separate 18-inch pieces of shoelace (this may vary depending on head size). Two are attached to the top of the mask fabric and two on the bottom. The top pieces and bottom pieces are tied together around the back of the head, resulting in a secure mask. Using these average measurements, each 144 yard spool can create approximately 72 masks!

    Ways to Use Shoe Lace Spools - Corset Lacing

    Corset Lacing

    Our Lace Spools are also frequently used for Corset Lacing. When using a corset, it is important that the material being used to lace is sturdy, stays tied, and will not stretch too much throughout the course of the day. Our sturdy shoelace material is perfect for this!

    Depending on the type of corset, lacing can require anywhere from 4 to 9 yards of lace spool material. Typical lengths include the following, but these are just estimates:
    4 yards for a waist cincher corset
    7 yards for an under-bust corset
    9 yards for an over-bust corset

    Each of our spools is 144 yards, providing enough material to lace anywhere from 16 to 36 corsets.
