Yes it can. String can be made out of any thread. The type of thread, the quality, and thickness all tend to add unique characteristics to the string as well as how tightly it’s twisted. ---

Not really, people that make string and sell it get special brands… But If its 100% poly it should work fine, that stuff isn’t worth selling… But that’s not your goal. Try going to a Walmart (if you have one) or a crafting store and just buy 1 small spool. And feel the types and buy the one that feels soft/slick to your preferences. Small ones make about 3 strings for approx. less than a dollar… ---

> [@crococorey](#): > > So how many strings will that make? And how much is shipping on that site for just that? I make my strings with two 7 ft hooks, Type 7. 7x7x2=98 ft. I think. That thread is, uh… \*125 yards so… 375 feet. 3.75 strings. So, since type seven is thick and you would probably make type six, about 4 strings. Wow. I must have did something wrong, because that seems really low. \*They have 3000 yard poly spools for $3.00. $1 for 3000 feet. $.10 for 300 feet. $.03 a string. That seems more accurate. One more edit: How much is my shipping charge? Free if your order total is $100 or above. For orders under $100, your shipping charge is $4.89 regardless of the weight! ---
