1.02mm Silk Cord – size 14 Griffin silk thread with needle, for knotting mala & jewelry

This is the perfect silk thread knotting cord for beads with at least a 1mm hole. It feels wonderful on the skin when working and is very high quality.

It comes with a needle attached which makes stringing much easier.

Griffin silk beading cord is 100% silk with a twisted stainless steel needle at the end, which saves threading time & frustration. Doubling the thread is unnecessary, and the cord can be easily knotted because the thread has the correct twist. Each card contains approximately 79 inches (2 meters) of cord.

Some tips and notes:
– I use size 14 for knotting wood beads as their holes are typically a bit larger than gemstone.
– for 108 mala you likely will need 2 packs
– you can knot most 10mm gemstone beads with this and some 8mm gemstone beads have holes large enough but not most
– you can squish the needle hole flat if the needle doesn’t fit through a bead with a small hole
– silk thread has a natural stretch to it, that can be a good thing since it will stretch before breaking, but you can pre-stretch the thread before using it to reduce the natural stretching over time. It’s also best to knot between each bead or few beads with silk. That way the natural stretching will be more evenly distributed and not very noticeable.
