Our WalMart does not carry Nymo or Sylamide. I stock up at our LBS or the
bead shows when they come to town.

I'll wander in with my coupons, but the only thing I recall seeing were
little spools about an inch in diameter.

Hi Cheryl,

I'm not a bead loom expert, but when I did it I'm sure I used Nymo.
It's strong, and will last. It's not too pricey, I think I paid $7.95
for a large spool here in Canada. It's probably less expensive in the
U.S. You might find it at Michael's or Ben Franklin and use a 40% off
coupon.

Ok - my 12 yo DD has decided she wants to learn to use my bead loom. No
problems teacher her the basics on my part. But with my pocketbook
feeling a
bit pinched; what would you use for thread - she's been using sewing
thread
for now and I have plenty. But soon she's going to want to make a
something
she's not going to pick apart right after. (btw that has been her
decision,
not mine - to start over repeatedly)

So - what's cheap enough for me to buy in bulk that would still last
when
she finishes a piece.

Thanks
