Members Affaltar Posted June 9, 2022 Members Report Posted June 9, 2022 Hello, I'd like to get a big order of lace from EU, any recommendations? I know Tandy, but they're generally expensive Quote
Members Grihm Posted June 9, 2022 Members Report Posted June 9, 2022 What sort of lace are you looking for in specific? Thickness, colour and length. Quote
Members Affaltar Posted June 9, 2022 Author Members Report Posted June 9, 2022 I don't know what thickness I need, between 1 and 2mm, 10-12mm wide, I'd like to have all the colors as option and I want at least 10m rolls for start 43 minutes ago, Grihm said: What sort of lace are you looking for in specific?

( pic of the brown lace ) It seems you are more into this if im correct? ( Black bracelet ) Oh.. also...what´s the budget / Meter of lace? Just an approximation. Edited June 10, 2022 by Grihm Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted June 10, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted June 10, 2022 I think you should invest in one of these lace cutters you can make any size of lace yourself, as you need it Quote

I guess I messed up my dimensions, lace I see is 5-6mm, so similar to what you make but from thinner leather, something like deerskin lace from Tandy, but that is 4€ meter and that's a bit too much. Their other lace is 1-2€ per meter but only in 2-3mm size. I'd like to braid handles, I'm not exactly sure what I need, I tried to find a supplier first :D 8 hours ago, fredk said: I think you should invest in one of these lace cutters you can make any size of lace yourself, as you need it I was thinking about it but isn't the max length there the length of my leather? I want to follow some lessons and they say I need more than 2m pieces Quote

Its been very professionally joined and the joins are hardly visible but they are there Quote

Members Klara Posted June 10, 2022 Members Report Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) You could try Paracord.eu https://www.paracord.eu/leather-cord You could also invest in one of the lace cutters that do cut a spiral (I have one, but never really used it, so I have no idea whether the spiral is a problem).
