You can use thinner base strings, but it will elongate your knots. Knots often tend to be slightly elongated anyways. If you don't mind that, you can go for slightly thinner base strings, but if you mind, I'd recommend going for thicker ones or doubling up your base strings.

I’ve used slightly thinner string for my base strings and it didn’t affect the appearance. You just have to be careful making knots because the thinner string gets caught in the knots easier.
