Personal Note :: Many years ago a customer asked me to re-knot a Chinese belt with carved jade pieces and beads into a neckpiece. 256 Chinese button knots later done with extra fine Chinese knotting cord, I had this knot memorized and could do it in my sleep... The Chinese knotting cord is great for making square knot bracelets with large beads and sliding square knot closure for adjustable length cords. Supply is not always available, dye lots changes are noticeable - so order accordingly.

* The Black Special from Taiwan is a one time special from one of my gemstone dealer. She had two very large rolls of this very nice quality black braid from Taiwan. She kept one and sold me one. It is braided very evenly. It has the same diameter as the regular fine weight available from China but it is a bit blacker and it has more sheen.
