What do you need if you want to make Chinese Knot?

Basically, what we need is just cord!  Here are some typical cords which used in Chinese Knot making.

#2, diameter = 6.0 mm
#3, diameter = 4.5 mm
#4, diameter = 3.0 mm
#5, diameter = 2.5 mm
#6, diameter = 2.0 mm
#7, diameter = 1.5 mm

#2 and #3 are used for making big decoration, usually use it to decorate your home.

#4 and #5 are the most frequently used, we can use it to make some items which can used for decorating your bag, car, and so on. 

#6 and #7 are used for making some small items, like ring, earring, bracelet, etc. or item which can used for decorating your cell phone, key ring, and so on. 

What do you need to think about when you buy cord are the diameter of cord and the color. You'd better choose Nylon, but not polyester fiber, because of nylon is brighter. 

As a new learner, I suggest that you buy #4 and #5 cord, and red is the most popular color, because it means lucky.
