It wraps flat against the leather and it is very strong for its size. <br /><br />C-Lon Micro Cord is also a nice cord to work with. It os a bit thicker thus stronger than the thread, and it stays round. <br /><br />For more noticeable look you can used thicker cords or silks, but it all depends on how many times you will go through the beads and the size of your bead hole. <br /><br />I hope this will help!Marion Hunziker-Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09318633640063270535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624998306433541533.post-35988378777335418492012-09-24T20:32:46.706-07:002012-09-24T20:32:46.706-07:00elihypI'm starting to make leather wrap bracel...elihypI'm starting to make leather wrap bracelets but don't know what thread is best to use. I would have to order since I live in a town that doesn't carry any of the specialty threads but would like to order from you. Which threads or cord should I use?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05410658250904865821noreply@blogger.com
