The stitch is self is very straightforward and isn't dependent on size as much as other techniques, but you might see a change in the structure of the netting. I imagine you'll have to adjust your quantities a bit to be sure that the threads rest correctly WTF Storehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263314251703492801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817067647742564675.post-40868861094822500602016-03-28T16:58:30.863-07:002016-03-28T16:58:30.863-07:00Can you do this spiral with larger beads? 6mm and...Can you do this spiral with larger beads? 6mm and/or 8mm to be exact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817067647742564675.post-49333423056349049982016-01-21T19:34:44.760-08:002016-01-21T19:34:44.760-08:00If you haven't already tried zipping up an eve...If you haven't already tried zipping up an even-count peyote tube, or Cellini spiral, I definitely recommend trying that first. Once you have the tubular zipping technique down, Russian spiral should work pretty much the same way, but with different bead counts to match. In order to get the join to look seamless, I recommend taking out the first few rows of beadwork so that the edges fit WTF Storehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263314251703492801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817067647742564675.post-84300715409865480862016-01-21T10:08:08.468-08:002016-01-21T10:08:08.468-08:00I love making this rope, but I want to make it sea...I love making this rope, but I want to make it seamless rope (no clasp) that I can just pull over my head.
