That whole crystal kimono was made with PowerPro in a #12 needle. What size PowerPro are you using? For white, I buy the 8 lb. test, which has a 1 lb. diameter.

I did try the Cabela's RipCord SI 15 lb. diameter this afternoon, and it will NOT go through a #11 needle. It goes through a #10, but just barely. What I did was to flatten the end of the line by pinching it between my fingernails and giving it a bit of wax to stiffen it. It then worked all right.

That's the link for the white Power Pro from Cabela's. I use the 8 lb., which is about the same diameter as Nymo.

I haven't even tried to get it thru the needle. I got few meters for free from local fishingshop. I didn't want to buy the whole skein/whatever before I'd tried it out first. It's really expensive here btw. It's $34 :( I have been thinking what it costs overseas...

I can't remember off hand what size of PowerPro I have but I think it's

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "roxan" :

]30 pounds test

this is probably the problem. i use 30-lb test, but only on HEAVY beads. it's generally so stiff at that weight that i don't need a needle.
