I am desperately trying to find help on #74225, I've never done a bracelet where the colors don't mirror on each side. I've sent on masha knots and Alex's innovations a video about separating the embroidery thread to have just 3 strands that you fold in half to make one full strand but I can't find it anywhere. Also I just don't know what kind of start to make for this. Please help! (And thank you!)

If the loop seems difficult, you can also start with braids and the beginning, tie a knot and make a shaped start.
And for the shaped start, I would do a triangle start with the triangle shape that starts at row 6. You could also do a teardrop loop with the chevron but that starts on row 3.
Hope this helps!

Oh, I forgot to add that you could only use one color for the strings that are supposed to be multicolored. Similar to the photo that @LupinMoony posted.

Instead of folding the single colors in half, you will cut them to be the length of the half of one of the strings you do fold in half.
There are 8 A strings so you will cut 4 that are your wingspans length and fold in half.
There are 2 B strings so you will cut 1 that is your wingspan's length and fold in half.
The rest will be one string that is the same length of the wingspans length strings when they are folded in half.

If you do not know how to make a loop you can follow this tutorial I made awhile back. https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/139_stitched-loop-tutorial/

I would then follow along with this tutorial to make loop with your spare threads. https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/146_how-to-make-a-loop-with-a-spare-string/
