    • @stringtheorymacrame
      @stringtheorymacrame ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, it will depend on the thickness of the string you use. I used 3mm and cut to 2m, but if you use thicker string, like 4-5mm, you will have to cut longer pieces. I hope that helps.

      @stringtheorymacrame ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the feedback. The lengths of the strings are in the description, so the total can be calculated, but I'll add the total cord in future.

    • @stringtheorymacrame
      @stringtheorymacrame 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, I'd say about 20m for the first layer and about 25m for the second layer. It also depends on the thickness of the cord, so I'd always get more just in case. I'd love to see it when you're done, tag me on insta @stringtheory_za :)
