Description

Unlike our cotton, tinsel and glitter pipe cleaners, our chenille pipe cleaners are available in both a bump and straight variety. The bump chenille stems are ideal for a number of projects which require their unique characteristic, while the straight ones are more popular and widely used in most pipe cleaner crafts – below are the two pictured side by side: This Small brush with steel bristles perfectly designed for cleaning internal copper fittings and pipes. Ideal for use on pipe jointing and when changing fittings on copper pipework. They come in both 15mm and 22mm and has a sturdy handle. Rovlies Cleaning Pads You’re likely to know if you want a tinsel pipe cleaner because they are glittery and sparkly, ideal for a lot of Christmas time and specialist projects. However when it comes to more standard colours and materials (cotton and chenille), the choice can be more confusing and the differences can often be skewed by the vast choice. Below both a cotton and chenille stem are pictured, the top pipe cleaner is a cotton stem and the bottom one, a chenille stem. There is a lot of crossover with these categories, for instance the chenille category contains our luxury pipe cleaners made from chenille, but it also includes children’s chenille pipe cleaners, which are lower in quality and price – perfect for those little hands. For bespoke and specialist projects we would always recommend going to our ‘ Luxury’ section, unless you want cotton or tinsel/glitter pipe cleaners – in which case you are best off choosing their retrospective categories. The assorted bright colours pictured below are generally more popular for children with the exception of seasonal craft times, where a parent might buy brown pipe cleaners for Rudolph’s antlers, or green and yellow pipe cleaners for making flowers in the Spring/Summer. For these reasons we provide all of the primary colours within our children’s section, as well as other key colours that are popular during seasonal demands.

As a starting point choose what matters the most to you: the material, shape, colour or quality. These attribute variations will dictate which part of the selection journey you start with, but for the purpose of this exercise, we’ve started with quality. Can there really be a difference in the quality of two different chenille pipecleaners? The simple answer to that is ‘yes!’. Cheap chenille pipe cleaners are the most widely available variety on the market and while they may be just fine for children’s crafts, they just don’t quite cut it for high end projects. The central wire of value pipe cleaners is often thin and flimsy and while they can be bent, they often struggle to hold enough rigidity after modelling and if bent several times may break. The quality of the yarn also differs, with a lot less fibres resulting in the wire showing through. Quality is not often an aspect that crafters would associate with pipe cleaners, they’re all the same right? Well that isn’t quite true and given our vast experience within the craft market, we know the tell-tail signs of a good craft pipe cleaner. Some craft companies without a focus on craft pipe cleaners often only provide cheap and low quality Chinese imports, so if you’re an adult crafter with a high quality, customised project in mind – stay away! To make our vast choice easy to understand, we’ve broken our pipe cleaners down into the following categories: The colours below are extremely popular with specialist crafters, the bright pinks and blues for miniature teddies and the more realistic animal colours for dogs, cats and more…

Bump or Straight Chenille Craft Pipe Cleaners?

The application of these two chenille stems are different, and while some projects may be ideal for bump chenille craft pipe cleaners, they may not be ideal for a straight pipecleaner. Below is a craft application using the bump chenille pipe cleaners, notice that the bump allows the chenille stem to bend around, fully covering the wide surface in the middle of a polystyrene ball, whilst the narrower tapered section is used for the top and bottom and also the tapered tentacles. The very characteristic of this pipe cleaner makes this design possible, as straight pipe cleaners would not give the same effect. They are made of silicon carbide which means they last longer. As it is completely open mesh, it prevents clogging up. Its s fully waterproof meaning it can be used in wet or dry conditions. To use this cleaning strips inside the copper simply cut it down into smaller pieces and roll up. Pipe Cleaning Brushes Pipe Cleaning includes items and accessories are an essential item for use in plumbing for cleaning pipes. A plumber’s choice for a robust, waterproof material are essential for cleaning in wet and dry conditions. High-performance and a long-lasting alternative to traditional sandpapers that are usually non-splintering and non-rusting.
