How long should the thread be.. by Acidburn 2 years ago

So I have made a 8strand bracelet using about 75" folded.. so I'm about to make a 24 strand and was wondering about how much thread to use per strand..

See https://friendship-bracelets.net/faq/view/2

It depends on how many knots a string has to make, it doesn’t depend on how many strings wide the pattern is. Smaller patterns often use the strings more evenly than more intricate wider patterns, which means that, in general, you can do with a little less length for smaller patterns and need a bit more for wider patterns.

Well I tried using 90" threads and all they did was tangle :(

Tangling is normal. You should always be able to pull one string out of the bundle. Tangling isn’t a big problem, you get used to it!
