Most of it has been bought as 1mm but some is clearly thicker than others depending on the manufacturers and I use the thicker cord with bigger holed beads. Some of the beads in these blue bracelets had very small holes but I found I could use waxed linen from White Clover Kiln (on Etsy) without much problem. I check the beads and cord before I start and if it won't go I change the beads but then my bead stash tends towards the larger holes as I use a lot of leather and cord but not much beading wire to thread.<br /><br />Hope that helps...Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974728482917154566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540386098928630319.post-63708224913434349632012-07-12T18:36:58.423+01:002012-07-12T18:36:58.423+01:00Hi Lesley, I would also like to know what kind and...Hi Lesley, I would also like to know what kind and size of thread you used??

I tried the tutorial for the first time yesterday - I didn't have a large quantity of jump rings on hand until I visited the bead store. I love the technique and it can become addictive. Just a couple questions for you - what ply of linen or cord do you use and especially when you are using beads other than size 5 seed do you have trouble getting the cording thru the holes.
