Frequently asked questions about the product: Cotton thong

Q: Hi, could you tell me which thickness is best in your cotton thong for a shamballa bracelet
A: We've made a few from 1mm cotton and that works well, we've just got a brand new range of rhinestone beads that are great for shamballa bracelets, you can find everything at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/shamballa-beads

Q: Hi, do you have any of the 2mm cotton thong in grey?
A: Not at the moment I'm afraid, sorry! Try one of the suppliers listed on our links pages www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/links.php

Q: Hi, I am looking for something that is strong enough to make a nursing necklace. Ideally, I need something that is strength tested to around 100lb's to be suitable. Would these work or is there an alternative product you can direct me to? Thanks in advance.
A: We haven't unfortunately tested our cord for it's test strength. I would recommend buying a sample as our minimum order value is just £5 and you can by our cord by the meter.

Q: Hi. Do you have Leather thong & cotton thong - Cotton thong thin size 1mm ONLY or less in other colours except black, brown and natural? Because I can't use 1.5mm cord with your Calotte-they are too small. Can you tell me please how to use Leather crimp round? Better if you have video. Thank you.
A: We have lots of colours of leather thong that come in a 1mm thickness at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Leather-thong/bo4157 and cotton at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Waxed-cord/bo4159 To use a round leather crimp you need to slide in your thread, knotting it if necessary to get a really tight fit. The crimp itself looks kind of like a spring, the important thing is to squeeze only the bottom rung of the crimp with a pair of flat nosed pliers. Sorry we don't have a video of this technique available at the moment.

Q: I am looking to use the 1.5mm cotton to hang a 40mm glass flatty. It is difficult to see the exact colours on the screen. I have blue, emerald, turquoise, and lilac. Are any of the cotton colours a really good match for these, or should I just stick to black? I dont want a clash. Thank you
A: I've tried the blue, turquoise, lilac and emerald 40mm glass flatties against the same colour codes of medium cotton thong 1.5mm and I think they are an OK match, all the beads are much brighter than the thing but black might be too severe. I think they all go pretty well, except the lilac flatties, these (in my opinion) go best with the 'wine' coloured thong (26) as the muted colour suits the bead well.

Q: I have some bracelets and the ends have been knotted then melted / burnt to secure. Which cord is best for this, waxed cord or the cotton thong?
A: Cords that can melt are most likely a synthetic cord like our polyester rat tail www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Rat-tail/bo4216 as cotton shouldn't melt in this way.

Q: If I buy 3m of one of your cords will it be cut or all in one piece?
A: When you by a length of retail cord it will be cut in one continuous length.

Q: Is there A coating on your cotton thong and if so is it vegan friendly?
A: Yes, there is a coating on our cotton thong and we have asked our suppliers to confirm what it contains and they have been a bit cagey (could be the language barrier) but I think it contains beeswax, so it's not vegan friendly. You are safe to try the 'waxed cord' www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Waxed-cord/bo4159 because it isn't waxed at all but sort of polished, just so it will slip through beads easily, not to a high shine. It's made from organic certified cotton and because there's no wax used it's suitable for vegans.

Q: is this any good for shamballa bracelts?
A: Yes, we have used 1mm cord to make shamballa style bracelets and found this to work best.

Q: See question above, re cotton for 40mm glass flatties. When you say "same colour codes of medium cotton thong" do you mean pacific and sea grass for the Blue and Emereld, respectively?
A: Yes that's it, BTM17-pacific, BTM18-turquoise, BTM16-sea green match colours 17, 18 and 16 in the glass flatties.
