The ones off ebay, amazon etc tend to have lower quality than ones you buy in the shops, although they are cheaper. Anchor threads are v. good quality but expensive.

you could probably go on any major craft store's website and find strings to work with

I buy nylon string at pretty much any mexican store. The nylon string is cheaper, and more sturdy

I get most of my string from Walmart. But sometimes from craft stores when they have coupons

My favorite embroidery floss for knotting alpha bracelets is DMC Perle #5 (It's strong and it also has a nice sheen to it). The best prices I've found come from 123stitch (if you want the colors numbers with names, I like to use herrschners) If you are looking for something a little cheaper, there are sets sold on amazon & ebay (I recommend looking for the woven-looking threads).
But then for 6 strand, I find DMC to by too expensive, so I like to buy them from ebay or amazon, depending on bids. Also, if you'd like to have a sampler of DMC colors, you can get that (6 strand) from ebay.

I hope that helps! 😄

I always buy mines from walmart they got brights and neons very cheaply for at least three dollars with a good amount of strands (three white, three black, and two of each other colors) they also have a bigger pack with more colors for almost five dollars?😛

Walmart is a really good place to go for strong if you live in a small town where there's nothing else. They keep it near the fabric with the yarn!
