  • Catherine reviews her mala-knotting technique as taught through countless classes at Nomad Bead Merchants!
    Required materials:
    108 beads (8mm used in the video)
    1 card of size 10 Griffin nylon (one is sufficient for most 8mm malas; the second thread mentioned in the video is strictly insurance)
    3 counter beads (10mm used in the video)
    1 center or guru bead
    1 tassel or charm
    Nomad has mala kits available at our website:

    Hi, I’m a rosary maker who also knots in between each bead and your tweezer trick has helped me a lot.

    Thank you so so much for this video. I bought my mala (blue lapis)when the Jade Buddha was here in South Florida, many years ago, and they broke. I have researched and purchased every thread that they claim will stand up to semi-precious beads. None last very long. Your video is the first and only one I needed to watch. I can, now, restring my mala and know it will last. Thank you, thank you, thank you❣

    Some friends and I took this class from Catherine last year, to celebrate a friend's baby. We loved it and treasure our malas! I'm grateful you did this Catherine bc I'm challenged in remembering the knotting process here....

    Loved this video! Simple to the points instructions and slow enough to see exactly 💯 how you're doing it. I actually made a PRIVATE PLAYLIST just for this video so I could easily refer back to it anytime 😊. Thank you so much for sharing ❤ 💕.

    @Gerard-oo8os Před rokem

    Thank you very much for making this video! I have made my own Mala Beads using your technique and I love how it turned out. I will also be making rosaries using your technique as my old ones were made with too much spaces between the knots since I didn't know that you can use a tweezer to tighten the knots.
    Thank you again!

    Hi I wanna ask: I end up needing extra thread because my mala is becoming long. I only find 2m of Griffin so I need to combine two. Can you make a video to show how we should do this?

  • @odalysmartinez7479
    @odalysmartinez7479 Před 3 lety +1

    I'm trying to make my own one, but i don't know if any difference for one person to other, the color's and long of the stream ¿-?
    Please, please, i have a intuition the i have my own ine assap. Thanks🤲

    What is the size of thread?

  • @kielimowrer5762
    @kielimowrer5762 Před 2 lety

    The whole reason I'm wanting to make my own is because all the commercial ones seem to use nylon, only for the video to suggest nylon as well. Why not natural fibers like hemp, jute, cotton, etc?
