Hi, I don't speak Lithuanian, but here is an answer from our frequently asked questions:It differs from pattern to pattern, and the desired bracelet length. For a normal bracelet 1m per string is usually enough, but strings that you make more knots with are used up faster than ones that you make less knots with, so for some strings it makes sense to cut them longer or shorter than 1m. If you run out of string or your string breaks, you can insert a new string with a similar technique to what you would use for a color switch in an alpha. Alex's Innovations has a video in which she explains how to replace broken strings that can be used when you run out of string or your string breaks. In alphas there are two different string types: base strings and leading strings. Since you usually only knot onto the base strings they only need to be the length of the bracelet plus some extra for loops and ties. For leading strings, it depends on the material used and how tight you knot. If you have made an alpha before, you can meassure how long 10 rows are in your bracelet and use that to calculate how much base string you need in a specific pattern. Leading strings are more difficult to estimate and get used up faster because they usually make all the knots. Most people will just leave them on the skein while knotting and cut them in the end. |
