Instruction for string:
Type: Single strand / twisted 3mm cotton cord

*Based on the following coaster size:
Inner circle diameter (spiral): 11cm / 4"
Outer circle (with 3 cm / 1.2" fringe): 17cm / 6.7"
Total length: ~20m / 780"

*Cut the following length of string (feel free to substitute with any 2 colors that you like):
1 x 165cm / 65" (white)
5 x 88cm / 35" (3 white, 2 purple)
7 x 80cm / 31” (6 white, 1 purple)
6 x 60cm / 24” (4 white, 2 purple)
6 x 50cm / 20” (4 white, 2 purple)
5 x 16cm / 6” (3 white, 2 purple)
— Depending on how tight you tie the strings, the measurement above might vary slightly. The strings above should be more than enough for your coaster, you might need even less strings
— Instead of pre-cutting the strings, you can also add the string following the formula = 2 * the next lower cord length + a couple of cm
