I've been meaning to order some thread online but I don't know the differences between materials. Do you know any places where I can order from? I'd prefer if it were set in yarn and it should ship worldwide, thankss ❤️

@Irina77 i normally buy bulk packs of thread off of amazon and have had no problem with it but for alphas i prefer to use yarn/wool for keychains and thread for bracelets although i don't really make alpha bracelets often.

Amazon embroidery floss. Don’t recommend the rainbow premium one with 110 strings and needles for 13$. Bc the strings like separate

I like to use craft cord because it doesn't fray as easily.

First, don't use embroidery floss because it frays easily because in embroidery you have to separate the strings to get the right amount. Basically, I just try to use what I have around the house, just being careful of embroidery floss. Also, if you are sort of beginner, stay away from metallic thread. It tends to fray A LOT.

I use Craft Cord by Loops and Threads. You can get it at Micheals. It’s twisted like DMC cotton pearl, but it’s cheaper.
