Hi Cheryl,

no experience with bead looms whatsoever, but any kind of monofilament
(fishing line) should work, at least for starts. You may get a better
deal at fishing stores than craft stores, and you're likely not the
first beader to walk in there - or if you go into a big box store,
look in the fishing section as well (I don't remember where you are, I
hope you're not in the middle of dry land)

Apologies to you and everybody else of the old crowd still around here
for not having shown up for so long.

Aloha,
Maren

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.

HTH...Linda D. in B.C., Canada

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

Cheryl

This post did not show up on my computer or I would have answered.
I have always used Nymo on my bead loom.
