The Origami Forum

I buy tassle string at a little store in SF, but sometimes they don't have the color I want, I'm not even sure what the proper name is for it, but any way, I wanted to know if any one here knew of an on-line store where I can buy it?

Here is a picture of the string from a book I own writen in Japanese if you need a visual (#3), by the way I can't read japanese so I don't know what it says ether.

Thanks

I don't know of any online stores, but the Japanese text refers to it as "Lily-yarn".
And I could be wrong, but it looks very similar to embroidery thread. If that's the case, you might have better luck searching for that.

kimscrane sells this. search for "tassel." (tassle turns up nothing).

Yes it is almost like Embrodery but closer to window treatment cord only thiner, I also tried typing in Tassel cord and came close but it was thicker and had twist in it.

Thinks I'll try Kimscrane. The Store where I buy it in SF (The Paper Tree) webside calls it Tassel Cord, but not finding it online.

Its called Chainette and it is on kimscrane. Only kimscrane doesn't have it in orange or black, I may buy some in white and dye it my self or look for another site . Thank You betnor!
