Once relegated to handmade friendship bracelets and crocheted crafts, string has moved well beyond the bounds of childish embellishment. Wildly unpredictable by nature, the material’s intrinsic movement and bouncy behavior make it the freshest fiber of the moment. Designers who are particularly taken with the spindly matter are just beginning to reimagine threads in an array of textured silhouettes, layered forms, and knit surfaces. Here are the best products on the market that let you bring the trend home.
