S&S Worldwide White Elastic Cord for Jewelry Making, Arts & Crafts, Medium-Weight, 100 Yard Spool, .7mm Thickness

I think I bought this to tighten up ribbing on my handknit hats. I've since learned that a more efficient way is to knit them with high quality yarn and at the correct gauge for head circumference. For tightening ribbing, thread through with a yarn needle as if smocking in parallel rows. Be sure to take up an even amount of slack. Another use is for beaded bracelets. Just thread on the heads and make a hitch knot,cans glue that. In a pinch, I considered this for the earpiece of homemade masks. That would be doubled. But covered elastic cord is way superior. This spool has many uses, is a bargain, and belongs in every crafter's treasure trove of little used, but good to have, odds and ends

Call me the goldilocks of elastic. I've purchased many different elastic spools in search of the right one for my handmade mini party hats and this one is just right. I've purchased 5 spools of this one so far and here's hoping I have a need for 500 more ;) It's not too thick and not so thin it will break. I've used a lot of force on this elastic and I have not snapped it once. Since I use this to make party hats that I sell, the biggest highlight for me is that even when it is stretched very thin, it does not apply a lot of pressure and hurt the underside of your neck/chin, nor is it so thin it cuts into your skin. Like I said, perfect. If I had to give a veerrryyy minor criticism (and I mean minor because the price is perfect) is that every so often I find a small brown burn mark. Probably from manufacturing and I just cut it off but that's my one *tiny* issue that I get over real quick.

This string is amazing. Before I used that plastic type that is IMPOSSIBLE to tie s knot in. But this stuff is super easy and only needs a double knot. Pretty stretchy, so you can get it around peoples hand easily when trading kandi. Seems durable, I tried to break it but couldnt without cutting it.

The threads are thin so based on your purpose you may like to join multiple threads to make it thick. My unit was broken from one side, otherwise it's useful overall.

This string is perfect for the party hats I made. I need something that would stretch but not break and these worked great.

Context: I am a kandi kid, I make basically nothing but pony bead bracelets/cuffs/etc. I've tried at least 10 different brands (including magic stretch, which everyone tells me is great but IMO is a pain to work with and tie), and this wins by miles. It's got just the right amount of stretch (about 175%), it's cloth, so super easy to tie knots in precise places, and once tied they don't come loose, and it just. doesn't. break, as in, I've tied loops with it and tried to break them and never succeeded because I'm worried that when it snaps back at me it'll hurt too much. I'm currently buying my 4th roll and don't think I'll ever bother trying anything else.

Good stretch and durability, but I got a lot of complaints that the cord was too thin and uncomfortable around the sensitive skin behind the ears.

Simply the best string you can find for making kandi, necklaces, or anything else. It’s extremely durable and stretchy at the same time making PLUR transfers a breeze. Do yourself a go or and opt for this instead of cheap plastic string
