Do you prefer a low number of strings or high number?

So the title kinda explains it …

Low= 1-5 strings (about that)
High= 60+

Or you could be in the middle like me

What do you prefer?

Personally, 12-16 strings are the Goldilocks "Just Right™" amount for normals. When it comes to alphas, I tend to shy away from anything beyond 25 base strings.

Pragmatic reasons, for the most part: I've found that the majority of customers want bracelets, not gauntlets.

I prefer 10-16 since that’s the amount I can fit onto my d ring keychain to make alpha keychain lol

12 is my personal favorite for working with and wearing/giving away, but 20-26 is also a good sweet spot with the right patterns & focus.

I like make normal bracelets with 16 to 18 strings. 🙂

I usually like 8-12 for normal bracelets, but for alphas, I won't (normally) go past 25

For practicality in actually wearing my projects, I like 10-14 strings. It's also great how quickly they come together! But I kind of prefer making 14-16 as that offers a bit more of a challenge. I've done a few 18-20 and they were really fun but I don't like how thick they are as actually bracelets and I guess I could use them as book marks but I prefer just remembering the page number. This is all for normal patterns!

too few i find the feeling of the final bracelet unsatisfying, too many and wrangling all the threads is a hassle (and it takes forever). i'd say the 15-30 range is the sweetspot for me.

I don’t really wear any of my creations and enjoy the process of making a complex keychain so I tend to like the 30-50 range (at least for normals)
