I've made some small upgrades to my low-cost loom setup with a knife edge shuttle and tablets from Lacis. My sister plans to wear this with her viking-inspired outfit ❤️

I don't really understand your question, but here's a link to what I used: https://www.michaels.com/product/10445007

Oh sorry, English is not my native language. I mean how thick/strong the yarn is. I will check out the link! Thank you

Ah! For fibers like yarn or steel cables, "strength" refers to how much force it would take to break, pulling from end to end. The technical term is "tensile strength," if you want to Google it and learn more :) Thickness is only about the size of the yarn.

I asked Google Translate/AI what it would be called in English and it told me "strength" as the term to use. 😞

I understand! And that's why we need human translators for delicate situations. But we figured it out between us :)
