heavy duty stretch fabric bead cord

Hi , I'm on a made search to find a heavy duty stretch fabric bead cord, about 1/2 to 1mm thick in either black or taupe if possible. If anyone could give me a heads up on wear I could locate something like that I'd greatly appreciate it. I need asap, as I have to make a couple of bracelets with heavy stone beads for some customers and my old source won't give me any info as to a company name or where else I might find it, which I thought was kind of rude considering I buy alot in her store. Anyway any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. I've searched a few places on line and was quite unsuccessful. Andrea Manella ndd1"at"prolog.net

Stretch Magic comes in .5mm (not strong enough for your intended use) and

1mm, and in black, but it is not fabric.

Hi, I am new to the beading world and I have already posted this message and got one reply from Georgia who unfortunately couldn't help me resolve my problem. I am on a mad search for a heavy duty fabric stretch bead cord in either black or taupe. It must be either 1/2 mm to 1 mm thick . The beads are solid stone and are about (I'm guessing) anywhere between 12 to 15mm in size and there are 10 needed in the bracelet I want to make. I have made one of these already, went back to the store and found out they don't carry the cording anymore, and they won't tell me how or where I could find some. So if anyone out there could please help me I'd be extremely grateful, as I have two of this type of bracelet ordered from clients of mine. It was my mistake not to ask them name of the product when I first purchased it. I bought it by the yard of of a large spool they had in this store. Anyway please someone help.

There is a plastic yarn called Jelly Yarn.

I am not sure if it is what you want but there is a phone number on the site that you could call to find out the information you need. Marilyn

Hmmm...have you tried a fabric store? Maybe some kind of round elastic used for sewing? I had some very thin black elastic thread some time ago, that was suitable for machine sewing, that I got at Hancock Fabrics.

Also, maybe hair accessories? Some of the folks I work with have really long, thick dreadlocks and they get these supersize ponytail holders. I think Scuncii makes them in large sizes.

Good luck with your search.

Cheers, Carla

Try Gampel Supply on 37th Street, NYC. They carry a heavy duty stretch fabric cord. I'm not sure if it comes in black, however. They will ship, but I think they have a minimum order. You can google or use

Andrea, I looked up some information on the web for you and found two suppliers you can try for stretch elastic bead cord.

1- beadwarehouse.com - go to their website and type in stretch elastic cord, they have various colors. 2- createforless.com - go to their website and type in elastic cord, they also have several choices. I believe you will find what you are looking for at either of these sites. Let me know how it goes. CC
