I love this strand as its really super versatile. Sometimes I''ll knot it. Sometimes I''ll knot it even twice.
There''s a lot that can be done with it and Im not even done experimenting
I''m seriously thinking of buying a lot of lavendar/blues and having them strung into a long length like this.

Thanks. Sounds like a plan with the lavendar/blues. I''m looking for stringing projects nowadays. I have some multicolors coming from pearllunar and need to decide whether to make a double or triple necklace, or to simply do a long strand like this. Sounds like the long strand is better with smaller diameter pearls because of the weight issue. Hmmm.....Date: 9/29/2009 12:32:18 AM

Sometimes I will loop them once to where the loop is close to the neck but the rest just hangs.

Because I tend to walk on the balls of my feet when I walk (I think thats a runner thing *lol*) necklaces tend to sway more on me. Then add to the fact that my chest is more like a prairie with gently rolling (small) hills instead of mountains.
So had I to do it over I would certainly have had 5-6mm strung for this length instead. I also would have gone opera length but thats another story too

Thanks, A. I see that opera length is 26 to 36 inches. I''d love to hear your story about what length you would choose, and why.Date: 9/29/2009 10:28:04 AM

Oh definitely the 30-36. on me thats pretty ideal length to still have some versatility, plus the length would allow me to get a bit larger pearl. With opera length, I could get a 7-8mm round strand not worry about the thing beating me to death. I would still notice the weight of course, but swing at the bottom of the necklace is pretty much cut in half.
But I still want a really long lavendar/blue strand

About weight issue, I use the PowerPro thread to string my 82" strand and I have no problem. I found PowerPro is easy to knot.
