So our local beadstore is closing...which sucks! They told me there is a bead store opened in the suburbs (hate the burbs, get lost so easy, hope I can find it). The store is called beadalon which i understand is a chain store (also not a fan of ususally, it's why I stay downtown) anyone know what they are like?

They dont have a very big selection of beads and nothing smaller than 11/0

I use crazy crow for large orders and usually hit up a powwow or two in the area for smaller one or two hank orders
But I find that Crazy crow can usually beat there per hank price of 2.65 vs 3.00 per hank
Although I have heard of people having problems with them its been my experience that they are a good source of beads and various raw materials but I would not buy finished products from them. They do have a wide selection of colors and that is what I like about them the most!

I usually bead with 12/0's and 13/0's

I've only used their beading wire for crystal beads. Too bad the local store is closing. I buy online, but too often end up with colors, finishes or sizes that aren't quite right.

I bought a mat made from this company. Posted about it in the truck beading thread.
They have a webpage if u want to check out the goods.
Never been to a store of theirs tho
