Can you alpha base threads be thicker or thinner than your working threads?
If so which would you say gives a better finish?
Thanks

i would use the same thickness if possible, but not thinner. i haven’t made many alphas but i always see other people use crochet threads and slightly bigger threads for their base strings and they always turn out well. hope this helps! 😊

Mine are thinner and it makes no difference!

As long as all the base strings are the same thickness.

Thanks for the replies. I can now attempt a larger alpha pattern.
I have lots of slightly thinner and thicker cotton in just two colours that i can use for the base threads.

what do you do if your alpha base string snapped very close to the bracelet and you have no loops to tie the new one on to?
