By the end of my bracelets the threads are either to long or to short...So what length should they be on average?

I usually make mine 6ft/72in or 2meters. This is how long I make my string when I fold it in half, if you not folding it in half then make it about 1meter or 3ft/36in. Also when i cut the extra thread off I save it so I can make alpha bracelets along with rag rug bracelets

If you strings are too short you can always add thread.

I also do about a wingspan and then fold them in half and if I’m making a loop than I cut the colour I want the loop to be about 15 cm longer.

I do 35-40 inches for singuler pieces, and 75-80 inches for a loop
I’ll add 10-15 iches for the loop depending on how big it needs to be
I’ll add 4-5 inches for ties on one side and 9-10 iches for ties on both sides
For extra measure, i add 1-3 inches for triangle ends

It depends. For my braided stitch bracelets you need three colors, and three threads for each. I use half my wingspan, so like I put my hand in the middle of my chest and extend it out and thats half a wingspan but for things like candy stripes and chevrons i use a wingspan. You can watch videos to learn how to add new string if one snaps or somehow becomes too long which can happen

Depends but if you need too of each color I would do about 1 m long if you need top

Sorry about that I meant if you need one of each color you need about your body width
