The Encyclopedia gives lovely clear illustrations of several ways of knotting between beads, but doesn't say what thread to use.

I've had a great time searching for pearl knotting info & found this well illustrated site & this one says use silk as nylon bead cord will tend to cut the pearls!

Kat, I hadn't heard of the C thru B thread which I obviously need! The fact that I'm not actually using my wonderful, beautifully arranged stash of beads & fittings is no reason not to get more supplies & fortunately I found an Oz supplier.
