I think the material I use is too fluffy, I use cotton threads. I think smaller threads are better. What do you use for bracelets?

I use the DMC brand. They also have Pearle stitch in their floss, small little bump like texture. I helps to keep the floss from fraying. I prefer not to use that type bc of the texture. They have a great beginners packet of about 100 count.

You can also use craft cord which is a twisted type of thread. You can buy high quality embroidery floss for pretty cheap on Amazon in very big packs. I know people also use embroidery floss brands of loops and threads, iris, j&p coats, and anything they can find!! Try checking out big supermarkets near your area for different types of thread also!! And yarn is also used

I use DMC embroidery string, as well as some very fine cotton yarn meant for crocheting. I’ve also tried craft cords, and those aren’t too bad too.

if i were you i would use embroidery floss and it’s cheap and comes in big quantities. if you want to get something sturdier then i would get craft cord. it mostly depends on what kind of bracelet you want to make and what colors you want. embroidery floss comes in more colors while craft cord usually comes in brighter colors

using craft cord for base strings when making an alpha usually does the trick if you have a less sturdy string. I definitely suggest using embroidery floss

Many have tried many strings of many brands, and the best one in my opinion in terms of quality, accessibility, and color choices, is still DMC through and through 😄They even make it in different sizes, with the 6-strand being the thinnest, size 5 being slightly thicker, and size 3 being the thickest. |

I also use embroidery thread! I really like loops and threads from Michael's for white since it comes in a pack. On Amazon, I order more random brands of string. Anything labeled "bestseller" or "Amazon's choice" is usually a safe bet. I like the variety of colors and finishes (matte / shiny) that come in the big value packs.

i use dmc thread, the pearl cotton is so amazing but slightly on the pricey side. regular embroidery floss/loops and threads craft cord is also good! i also know that kinsey b and masha knots uses alize forever (sparkly thread), and masha knots uses embroidery thread called plieay (i think) and gamma !
