Review on πŸŽ‰ TIMESET 735 Yards 0.8mm Nylon Beading String: Chinese Knotting Cord for Necklace, Bracelet, Kumihimo - 15 Vibrant Colors! by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was skeptical though.

I will try to answer all questions about this cable. Just writing EXCELLENT doesn't tell me anything I want to know before I buy something and it kind of annoys me. So let's get started. I bought this cable out of fear as there were no helpful reviews, just a few 5 star reviews. When I opened the package I was even more skeptical as the cable is clearly NOT 0.08mm thick. I'm not an expert on milliliters, but I just completed a bracelet on 0.08mm cord, and it was twice the thickness of that cord. However, I bought it to tie beads and tie a top knot between each bead. So if he could tie knots big enough that the 1mm holes in the beads wouldn't slip through the knots, I'd be happy with that. So I took the bead out, tied a knot, and the knot was the perfect size and the bead didn't slip off no matter how hard I pulled. HOORAY! SUCCESS! Now I have no idea if it ties decent barrel knots. You will need an actual piece of umbrella wire to tie barrel knots on this thinner cord. These blue rosary tying tools are too big and the knots will slip away from you before you can tie the knot. So keep that in mind even if you're an expert on barrel knots and want to play around with them on such a flimsy line. It looks like it can be pretty easy to untie a knot if you make a mistake and need to fix it, but I haven't tried it yet. So don't hold me in it. It will probably NOT fit beads with large holes over 1.2mm in diameter. All in all this is an AWESOME bead cord for bracelets and necklaces and works well for making macrame style earrings with beads that have a hole size of 0.08mm or even slightly smaller. Think larger beads, 3-4mm rather than tiny ones, but even some of the tiny ones have the right size holes so you will need to experiment with the beads to find the right ones. If you already have a few cables handy, it should be easy enough to figure out which ones will work with that cable and which ones won't. " with a lighter without losing much color and not completely melting on you until you want to melt it to tie a Chinese slip knot or to keep the bead on the bracelet's clasp from untying the knot and the end to tear off It behaves perfectly under the flame for such a thin I'm impressed that I have a huge basket full of 6-10mm pearls which I didn't want to put on 49 strand beading wire because I have poor eyesight and these I have tiny crimps to attach Leads are very difficult to work with even if you have good eyesight I wanted an alternative to this setup that was just as strong but easier to see when you are working with it I also take great pride in my work with knots Anyone can Just put beads on cord Your knitting is a whole new level of beauty and craftsmanship Happy with this purchase MORE THAN SATISFIED Fits my needs to the max T!If you are thinking of using this macrame cord, DO NOT think about big projects. Think bracelets, earrings, keychains and rhinestone holders. They would ACTUALLY make great rhinestone coasters because you can see more of the crystals and less of the string. This would make changing the crystals easier as they are not as hard as the ones most people who sell at Revain use. Plus, they're quick and easy to prepare. Really easy! They would make a great summer camp project for kids ages 8 and up. They are that easy to make. Colors as in the photo. Not exceptionally shiny or silky but bright and true to description although the purple could be a little more purple and less red in my opinion. I was glad that there is only one neon color. I don't like neon colors for adult jewelry. ATTENTION! IT'S TOO THIN FOR THE CURTAIN BORDER! DON'T EVEN WORK TO TRY THIS! I think if you are a bead lover you will love this cord!
