September 25, 2009 - Hi Marion, I love your site. I just ordered one of your rings and several spools of c-lon cording. So happy these fit through Swarovski bicones! I'm delving into Kumihimo and need to know how to determine what size caps I need for the ends. I love the ones on your site, but don't know which ones to buy. How do I determine the size I need? Thanks for your input. Pat/NC
P.S. You're very talented. I love all of your designs. I also do micro macrame. It's very rewarding.

Hi Patricia, I found the best way it to make the braids that fit into the clasps you want to use, rather than the other way around. I used to fabricate all my clasps out of sterling silver tube and wire, but I like the convenience of commercial clasps as long as they do not have any nickel in the alloy as I am very sensitive to nickel. I still make my own clasps just for some pieces, but not all of them. I hope you will like the ring! - Marion

		August 14, 2009 - I appreciate your email with news of new books, products, etc.: OH, oh. . . I'm in "trouble" - new C-Lon colors being developed??!! It reminds me of something I read, in a magazine awhile ago: A lady was asked what her most expensive bead cost, and she replied "The first bead I bought was the most expensive one!" - Ruth/MA
		July 16, 2009 - Fantastic service and products, as always, Marion! It's especially fun finding new colors that compliment my beads. - Mary @ www.gemsandknots.com
		About the new Fujix Tire Silks - Marion! The silk threads are just delicious, the greys and reds so subtle. I can't wait to work with these. Thank you for adding them to your webstore. I hope to catch up with you soon at a street fair, to see your latest creations. All best, DiAnn/CA

June 4, 2009- Hi Marion~ Just a note to Thank You for shipping the wonderful 'Cognac Mastex' so promptly! I am pleased to have this marvelous color again. I believe that I may have asked you about it once. Take care~ Shayna/CA

Occasionally I receive samples and/or requests. Shayna had sent me a sample of the 'Mastex Cognac', a very unusual color. I loved the color immediately but it was not available anywhere. I was so pleased when I was contacted by a company who had some in their warehouse! - Marion

May 29, 2009 - Marion, I would like to thank you for all of your expertise and assistance with your beautiful fibers! I use the c-lon cording for my hand knit jewlery and love the amazing amount of colors available. Because of your help I will also be trying our some other nylon cording and I am very excited as I am constantly trying to add new designs and pieces to our knitted jewlery line. Here are 2 small pictures of a cuff bracelet- on front and one of the inside which I know only us fiber art interested people might enjoy. This cording is wonderful with itty bitty knitting needles.....and it doesnt stretch. After putting tons of time into making the cuff bracelets - I cant tell you how many were ruined due to stretching and using the wrong kind of fiber:( You can visit us at www.lapisbeach.com Thank you again for your amazing customer service that goes above and beyond! - Lauren/MD

May 15, 2009 - Thanks Marion, The presentation is beautiful and you packed everything so well. That thread is the best one I've tried so far, the awl is great and the the fray block much better than nail polish! Thank you! That was a quick ship! Jean/VI

May 11, 2009 - Marion, I just wanted to thank you for your speedy service and shipment and the colors are exactly what I expected from the color charts. I am so happy to have found your web site. I have been looking for the Conso or Mastex, nylon #18 in all the wrong places over the years. I will be passing along your site info to many people. Over 25 years ago, when I first went to a church girls camp, I learned to make girls camp friendship bracelets. We do what I assume is called the micro macrame. (?don't know how to spell it) We would make these special bracelets year after year. We would tie them on our wrists nice and snug, because they will stretch a tiny bit, then we'd burn the knot, and it stayed there until the next year's camp when we would cut it off and burn it in the fire, then make a new one. Sometimes we wouldn't cut our bracelets off and would have 2 or 3 on. They lasted forever. Now, as an adult, I have continued this tradition in the many different cities that I have lived in, as I have been a girls camp director. The tradition continues and I have had many women and girls who are now camp directors in many different states call me and ask me where to find the nylon #18. Up until now, I have had to give them some of my stash (happily of course, but I am running way low). So I am very happy that I can now tell them where to purchase it, and they will all be so happy with the color selection! Thanks again! Megan/UT

March 24, 2009 - Hello Marion, Thanks for the 2 spools sent as an exchange - the colours are lovely- I appreciate your excellent customer service. Your future customer again, Katy/AK

Occasionally the wrong item or color are ordered. Then an exchange or return is organized. I try to make the process as easy as possible. - Marion

March 4, 2009 -The threads arrived today and are soo beautiful. They've totally made my day! Thanks for the great service! Wendy/NC

March 3, 2009 - Dear Marion, I always enjoy getting your newsletter and just wanted to thank you for "being there!" I appreciate your personal emails and I really appreciate that you have taken the time to conduct business in such a personal way. It is refreshing to find a "kindred spirit" who loves color, texture, beauty and fine craftsmanship. It is inspiring to find such a spirit in the business world. You have managed to strike a balance between the world of the artist and the world of the worker with grace and deftness. I love the new C-Lon colors and will place an order soon. But I wanted to send you this thank you first because I realized that, if your web site did not exist, my life would not have been enriched as it has -- not only by your selection of cords but by your joy in what you do and your sharing of that joy with others. I wish you continued success. Like you, I am realizing a dream of many colors with C-Lon. I wish them continued success as well. May we all navigate this troublesome financial time with grace and finess and a sense of humor. Sincerely, Jill/Graphic Artist and Jeweler/California

January 28, 2009 - I just 'discovered' C-Lon Bead Cord (after exchanging the last shipment for C-Lon micro cord!). My bead group this month posed a challenge: we had to use a minimum of 5 swarovski briolettes in a design-the winning design will be taught as a class at the bead store hosting the group. The only other criteria was to use materials readily available and sold in the store. Going in, I had no idea what I was going to do, but I wanted something simple. So after selecting my briolettes and some coordinating Miyuki triangle beads, I noticed the C-Lon cord...long story short...I made a choker using a combination of half-double crochet and macrame for the chain. I'm sending pix of my submission...not great photography...but you can get an idea of what a little C-Lon and a lot of inspiration can create:o) - Tammy/Fl innermusejewelry.etsy.com

Dec 29, 2008 - I hope someone comes out with thread like mastex that I don't have to deal with the curlies of c-lon- the best way I've found is to wet it and let dry with soup cans holding down the ends on my floor- have you had any better ideas come up? Maybe Clon will make larger spools or something- thanks, Marion, you make it easy to buy supplies! Happy New Year! Patty

Hi Patty, As to C-Lon curls, I prefer to pull on each arm length as I unroll it it exercises my arms and removes the extra stretch and curls. It is the easiest method and insures that beads are held snugly as well. - Marion

I tried to just stretch the thread with my arms, but it's still too curly for me - my pieces are smaller, thread shorter, so they still hold the curl. wetting it is still the only thing I can do I guess.... my average thread length is only about 3 feet, doubled over so only 1 1/2 feet on the board. I love all the colors of c-lon, but I still find myself using the mastex first. Less exciting colors of thread, but I use the thread as more a backdrop than the focus of my work- the beads themselves are more the focus than the knots- I have a little shop on etsy- your name is getting around on etsy forums, too - www.glassdancer.etsy.com
have a great day! Patty

July 29, 2008 - I am absolutely delighted that the 9 spools of Mastex I ordered arrived so quickly - and I may have received your last spool of black! I have been looking for t his thread for bead crochet for some time. I was also glad to se the number of colors that C-Lon has - and may consider it if the Mastex is no longer available. Thanks for such speedy service - I placed the order on Saturday, and received it on Monday! - Jackie from Illinois

You are very welcome, please note that I do not always ship on Saturday and we can thank the Post for its speedy service too. - Marion

March 24, 2008 - Dear Marion, I got yesterday afternoon the package (C-Lon Bead Cord) and I found the shipping amazingly quick! I was so much expecting these threads. It's been months that I am planning to buy cords for micro macrame and now within one week from buying it online - I already got them!
When I opened the package, It was such a joy to see these wonderful colors. I must say I am very happy with this transaction. All along. Your site is beautiful and very comfort to use. I liked the way it's presented. I also appreciate the way everything is done easily, clearly and nicely ( a. e. the colorful printed chart with the threads samples of the new CLC colors). Well done and I hope to come back again, from JK/Israel

February 19 , 2008 - Hi Marion, I use the C-Lon Bead Cord and just love it, but I don't know if anyone else has had this problem with the white color. I noticed after a while the cord seems to have a yellowish cast to it. I ordered a new one and it's white but the older one I have is not as white anymore. Do you know what could be the problem? Thanks SG/Minnesota

My response: I just checked all the whites under OTT light as it is very overcast today. All the C-Lon White currently in stock have a slight yellow cast. My oldest C-Lon spool in my personal stock(1-2 years as I do not use a lot of white)is not yellower than the brand new ones for sale. Of all the thread for sale, from the whitest on: Conso is the whitest with no yellow cast at all, then Mastex with a light yellow cast, then a tie between Tuff Size 5 and C-Lon with a slight yellow cast. All this is not written into stone as dye lots change! - Marion

February 12, 2008 - Thanks for the great service.. and products!!!! I added a picture of a bracelet I made with a color I ordered earlier!!! I also use it for making oboe-reeds!!! It would be great for bassoon-players as well. bye!! Marion J/Netherlands

January 22, 2008 - Bonjour Marion, I LOVE the C-Lon Cord! Just wanted to show you the result. From Paris, SV Beading and finger weaving done with C-Lon Bead Cord
