LOOPS
Remember the old bent spoon handles ? Same idea.  A 4mm mandrel was used to make a loop on the under side of the bead.
These are perfect for stringing on twisted yarn or other fiber arts !
height is measured top to bottom
and width is the widest part at
bottom
beads are made on a 4mm mandrel
and allow for thicker fibers !
