Can anyone suggest where I could get this please! I've got the wee packs which include little skewers and a very small amount of string, but I'm hoping to get a ball of the string without the skewers.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

daimondgirl06, I'm not sure if it's still available but last year I found, at Countdown, and very reasonably priced, Homebrand Cooking Twine - a ball of it measuring approximately 100m.I can't recall now whether we found it in the area where the cellotape, etc. is or where the hardware type items (e.g. clothes pegs, etc.) were found but the main thing is that ithe string is a cotton-based one and not some synthetic material which would most likely only melt in the oven.:-))

Thank you so much - I've tried one Countdown but the girl I asked was very vague and directed me to the cooking isle. I'll try again !

Cotton butchers string/twine in pretty much all supermarkets but in the area where they have the bits and bobs like candles, light bulbs, kitchen ware etc.

Or try a stationers for parcel string. 100% cotton. I buy it for cooking and the garden.

Pak'n'Save have wee boxed balls of Cotton String, ideal for most things especially tying up the loose bits of meats when rotisserring meats or roasting meats etc.
Look in the area where they have their light bulbs, home handy items etc.

We are sold out of it now. We get it from the USA and it is a good cotton twine, specifically for cooking.

Any butcher shop will sell you some, maybe even give it to you if you are a customer.
