I just started making bracelets last month. Currently trying to figure out the best string to use. I have embroidery floss, 100% cotton, and waxed polyester. I’ve read elsewhere that waxed cotton is better than waxed polyester. I just don’t want any fuzz and for it to last longer. I just made #238 last night with the waxed polyester. I didn’t figure out how to get the knot tightness until the very end so it’s definitely very crooked. But my problem is that it’s not very comfortable to wear. It’s a bit plastic feeling. Curious if the wax wears off with time. What do y’all prefer and where do y’all purchase your string from? |

hi ! Personally, i prefer to use embroidery floss, and it's what most people uses, it's the easiest to knot with 🙂

I’m a little late but I prefer anything that’s NOT waxed, and that’s the same thickness, remember THE STRINGS BEING THE SAME THICKNESS IS VERY IMPORTANT

by the way you definitely can use waxed cord, I've done it for some chevrons and candy stripes and it makes them waterproof. Embroidery floss is better for most bracelets though.
