    Default Loom beadwork

    Does anyone here do that? I just bought a kit and made my first bracelet! It was so much fun! I want to buy some more beads, but the kit came with size 10 seed beads and all I can find on-line are size 11. Can anyone tell me what the difference in size is?

    Okay, well, I bought some beads on-line and made two more bracelets. What a huge difference. I am totally hooked on this loom-thing!

    A long time ago I had a bead loom... boy did i have fun with that thing!

    The difference is the size 11 are .2mm smaller than the size 10... so you end up with slightly more beads per inch with the 11s (read that- smaller bracelet if you use the same pattern).
