Review on Irish Linen Necklace: Knotting Techniques for Beading & Jewelry Making with a Wax Finish by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I love this stuff!

I have made braid, macrame knot, chan luu and several other types of bracelets with this cord and it is great. It's easy to work with but strong, and the fact that it's pre-waxed is great because it allows the beads to slide, but once you've tied it it stays in place a little more firmly than many other types of cords. It's a little sticky so it will stick to the surface you're working with, or it can stick to itself, which is useful when twisting or knotting it. I've tried hemp, paper cord, and leather and while leather is the closest competitor, it's a lot more expensive and you get a lot more bang for the buck and I don't see any downside to using this over leather. You can also get it in brown and cream. Also, the company that sold this (or did when I bought it), Beadaholique, has absolutely AMAZING tutorials. You are really helpful. I hope I don't get in trouble for saying this but watching her youtube videos and using her website helped me knowing absolutely nothing about making jewelry like it was a reflex so. I think they deserve a little praise ;)
