Sorry, but you need an even amount of strings to make a loop. Since yor folding your strings in half, your doubling it so one becomes two and two becomes four.If you made a loop with an unven of strings there would be an extra string, and if you cut that string close to the loop, it might remove it self from the loop, go to the other half, and overall, its hard to deal with, so just do ties |

No problem, unlike popular believes it is possible to make loops with an uneven amount of thread. There are even two ways (that I know of)Way 1: split a string in half so it's only half the thickness. Use 8 regular strings and the halfed string to make your loop. After the loop you treat both sides of the halfed string as just one string. Way 2: use the end of your leading string as the 17th string. Use 8 strings for your loop. Include the end of the leading string in your loop to make it the 17th base string. |

you make a loop from 16 strings and add in an extra and knot right over it.

@Shelly2121 and @wavy_peach actually you cut the single string double the length it needs to be. Then you take some strands out of the whole prince (about half of them) since embroidery floss is made up of multiple strands. This long string can then be folded in half (like the other strings) and then just know on both the halves like it is one string so it will then be the correct thickness
