Is the paracord soft and malleable or is it stiff.

I would say it's in between. Very good quality, easy to work with and most important to anyone crafting with Paracord, it splices very good. I have never had any problems with Paracord Planet cord.

I would say it is somewhere in between. Great to tie knots with. Very strong!

The cord is flexible, but it does not stretch. Other than that, it is made of good material and doesn't fray so quickly. I hope this helps you.

Yes, in it's default state it is very stiff. You may actually have trouble getting it straight enough for making pushrods because of the natural curve of the wire its packaging. Since the wire is high carbon steel, it should respond well to annealing and re-hardening if you are willing to put that much work into it.

It is easy to tie, very pliable. Does not hold knots very well. Almost feels like Teflon.

It's sort of in between. It's rubber but not super hard either. It's soft rubber.

Okay to answer your question when I was in the military we were instructed on how to rapid decent with paracord. It is not optimal but can be done. However given that this child will be using it I assume repeatedly I would suggest braiding it so that you get a better tensel strength. You can even call me at 740 577 8503 if you would like and I will explain in detail the benefits ad pitfalls.

It is soft and pliable. I also feel that it is a good quality product for the price and have been very satisfied with it.

It is pretty stiff. I would only use it for a utilitarian application as opposed to a clothing closure for instance. Hope that helps.

It's incredibly sturdy. I don't know that I would describe it as "flexible." It's very heavy gauge wire.

It's a great cable. It's soft and flexible. It's a little thick but it should work for what ur doing. It's not that thick.

It is soft and cushy. It is completely bendable. I don't know how long it would last of you were doing that every day, but it is capable.

The material is not a rigid plastic nor is it overly pliable like rubber but to the touch it will feel softer like rubber.

I'd use the best paracord I could get. Be aware that there's a lot of inferior cord out there, looks the same but isn't. Do your homework on who you buy it from.

No, the cable is not stiff at all. The flat shape of the cable was a selling point for me since the shape resists tangling and tying into knots.

The cords are very pliable and soft. They don't kink. If there is a kink when removed from case, just bend in the opposite way and the kink is removed. I love these needles. The best I've had. They are a bit thicker than other kinds, but the yarn flows freely, even at the needle joins.

The cord isn't too thick. It's like a medium size thickness, not to thin to snap but not too thick that its noticable. Mine hasn't snapped, so I think it depends on the wear and tear of the material. I hope this helps.

I had no problem with the flexibility of the cord. It's not overly thick and is easily maneuvered.
