What is the best size string/cord to use for this selection of beads? Also what material would you recommend?

I typically use either stretch magic in .55 mm or Beadalon stringing wire in 19 strand at .3mm Depends on what kind of piece I'm making.

With string. They're wooden beads with a hole in them. They're made to be strung on some sort of rope or necklace, etc.

3/8, 7/16, or 1/2 inch nylon rope would work fine. Becareful not to exceed the tensile strength of whatever rope you use. Cheers.

I apologize for the late response but i have been very busy. i bought 14" gauge wire for my system. i really don't believe the brand matters. i would also recommend banana clips but they are also not necessary. when i get the chance i will try to include a link to the ones i bought.let me know if this helpsDex

Well, yes. But, some "users" have a problem with the end of the string - the aglet - not being long enough to feed through the beads. If hands are clumsy, it is difficult to feed it through and catch it on the other side before you drop it.

10" is what I came up with as well, and unlike D. Numanfortier, I don't put other supplies in the middle compartment... I have 6 to 8 skeins of yarn standing on edge, depending on the project I'm working on, and while they do hold each other up to a point, they often collapse to the middle or as the skein gets down to the end, it collapses which cause 1 or 2 of the others to fall over, blocking the yarn somewhat... which means I have to stop what I'm doing, stand everything back up and try to form the remainder of the one skein to continue to feed yarn. I've come up with a plan to take a 4" round mailing tube, cut to height for the center. I'll make 8 slits in the bottom about 4" high, and cut cardboard inserts 8" tall, by 6" wide, and put slits in them from the top down to 4" from the bottom. I'll slide one per slit on the tube and when done, I'll have what looks from the top, like a bicycle wheel with spokes going out... effectively giving me 8 compartments to stand the yarn in. the middle can hold my tunisian needles and patterns... Hope this helps.

I dont know? The bead has to have a good size opening because when the clasp comes together is a little bit wider than the actual necklace tube itself. You will just have to take the necklaces with you and size the beads or figure out to give a little bit more room than then necklace itself. I bought some square letter embossed silver metal beads and they had a pretty good wide opening ans slid right through.

Just buy some heavy duty braided rope...like para cord, 50 or 100 ft. for just a few dollars, much better than a cheap plastic rope.Hope tis helps

yes, 2 long thick cords, 1 red, 1 green. My grandson really didn't use the beads to string, he liked to stack them and knock them down. He is three now, and still likes to do that.

I think that bead set comes with connector beads that you put on each end. They are come shaped beads that snap together. Pull the string through that perked end and tie knot. The knot will slip inside the cone shape and let you close the beads together.

You can put beads on it, but I tried knitting it & the knot won't hold tight. It's a rather thick plastic. Hope this helps.

Lisa, I didn't ask what the paracord diameter was, I asked if I should double check the 100' measurement of my order, as several people have come up 7-10 feet short on their 100' orders. But thanks for the info, I appreciate it! JT.

The top hole measures 15mm or 11/2cm or 3/4 inch. I measured beads by putting them through the hole and all but the large fancy beads go through easily. I had no problem with 10mm beads. Hope that helps. Regards.

I purchased this size to string outdoor lights. The cord for the outdoor lights is about the same size as a normal household product and there is still plenty of room for a larger cord.

Like the others say, just about any yarn you want. If you are using worsted weight you might need to use two strands together as one. I like a bulkier yarn personally. WalMart actually has a decent selection of inexpensive yarns. And sometimes at JoAnns you can get the big pound of yarn on sale. Get on youtube for tons of tutorials on all things round loom knitting.

As long as the diameter is the same, and is round, you can use any brand( good brand). I hope I helped you. Good luck, and happy shooting! RW

if your asking if 10mm beads will be able to fit on this size string then yes. i just tried putting 8mm beads on it and it goes on easily. if your asking if this string will hold the weight of 10mm beads i would also guess yes. i dont see why it wouldnt be able to hold them
