Donations: ko-fi.com/sanyamatma 🙏 What type of cotton thread to use? 'Six strand cotton embroidery thread'. I use industrial sized cones, but it is usually sold in 8m length bundles. You’ll need: About 6-8m for the knots and about 3m for the tassel. Buy at least 2x 8m bundles. If you want a multi coloured tassel, buy 1x bundle for the knots and 3x for the tassel. It's best to buy a more expensive brand as good quality thread is more forgiving, it will slip better without breaking when making knots and ultimately it will last longer and keep it’s colour. To my knowledge ‘six strand cotton embroidery thread’ is roughly the same thickness regardless of the brand. Good brands include: DMC, Madeira, Anchor etc. The thread ‘bundles’ look like the ones on this link. www.dmc.com/us/six-strand-embroidery-floss-489-colors-available-9003292.html#null​

This is hands down the best educational video on mala-making that I've seen, and not just on KZfaq, but online in general. Thank you!

Hare Krishna Best detailed tutorial .

I used this video to make my first mala. I chose a thread that ended up making the task far more difficult. Next time I’ll know better! It took me a while to get the knots down but it eventually became very easy with practice. Your instructions were the most helpful that I could find and helped me create a mala that I am very happy with. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Thank you! That was the best video I've seen on how to make a mala.

Thank you so much for the awesome turotial! My Amethyst prayer jaapa mala broke recently and I could make it anew with your brilliant tutorial! Thank you so much! 🙏🌟

OK...there were some tips here that were seriously mind blowing :) I've been making malas for years and it was so interesting to learn from you.

I love that this is not simply threading beads, this is by itself some meditational handcraft. Cheers!

Making malas has been sooooo frustrating for me….until I discovered this amazing video. Thank you.

Such a beautiful craftsmanship that has been perfected over so many years with so much compassion and tenderness. Thank you 🙏 so very much for all this learning to become available to all of us.

Thank you so much. I was really struggling to find a detailed tutorial for this mala I'm making for my partner as an aniversary gift. This video really helps and lets me focus more on the energy, thoughts and emotions I want to put into it before gifting it.

Thanks so much for the video. All the mala tying videos I was finding was more for just jewelry so it was lacking knots that I could use for meditation during the making. Nice clear video and instruction, too. Thank you!

Very detailed and crystal clear instructions! One of my purchased malas snapped. I'm using the technique taught here to rebuild. Hari Aum 🙏

Brilliant tutorial!!! The BEST mala video I have watched! Thank you for very clear instructions and perfect visuals to see what each step is. Gratitude and blessings to you!

Beautiful work and excellent instructions! Thank you for sharing your expertise with mala making! I'm excited to give it a go! 😊

I loved watching this! Thank you. You are a wonderful teacher.

Thank you very much. I enjoyed watching the video, it is the first I clicked on and won't click on any other. Can't wait to start working on my mala and will get back to you once I have gone through the entire process. Blessings

This was so beautiful and accurate Mala making tutorial. I really loved it. Thank you so much for sharing with us.🙏

Thank you for this tutorial! I made mine today and I’m very happy with how it turned out :)

Staying in Maharashtra 67 years from my birth , today I got the perfet information about Mala making ! धन्यवाद महानुभाव !! राम कृष्ण हरी !!!

Thank you so much for sharing the technique, I really enjoy knotting my mala the „traditional“ way.

Seriously the best tutorial video on how to do this!!!! I watched it on slowmo probably a million times but now I’ve got it!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you ! This is the best mala making video I have found. I just made my first and it’s beautiful.

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I made my first chanting mala with knots, took quite some hours to get hang of it but the result feels so good. I had gotten big wooden beads in excitement and used to just thread them in one go. The thread would fray/break every couple months. First thing I noticed with knots was that the mala felt so light in hands despite the size of beads. I'm sure the thread will last longer too. Once again thank you so much :)

So detailed and yet simple tutorial. Thank you! My mala looks fabulous thanks to this tutorial. Despite I had trouble with knotting at the beginning and managed to do it the first time. Almost...😊

Thank you very much for the tutorial. Beading my own mala is a new experince. Though it is not perfect i love it. Thank you once again.

It's awesome! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🏻

Wowwwwww.. So neatly explained!!! 😍🙏Hari Om

A beautiful video! Thank you!

the best tutorial for maala making!!

Very nice explanation, thank you from Texas.

Did it for the first time! Feeling like I've accomplished something great.

I bow to your beading & knotting excellence, you are the Master! I've discovered that I possess 2 left hands and many thumbs...LOL! I switched to "slow-motion and you're still too fast for me! I am however determined to move from wire wrapping and into knotting. I've watched many videos, all different and your's is "the best", it just requires patience to learn the technique, you make it look so simple! So when I get a loose knot or have tied it wrong...and have to "unknot" it, I remind myself that you have 20 years of experience, that I must crawl before I can walk and then run. Blessings to you Master and many thanks for sharing this video. I have learned a new serenity...if I'm stressed...my hands hold that tension and if I try to "force it", it doesn't work.
