You thread the beads you are using onto the wool BEFORE you start . You need to make sure the wool will go through the bead easy. I am sure there is a web-site to show how but I expect someone on here will know as it is not something I can explain without getting you AND me in a muddle!!!! I could SHOW you but not tell you red face

Hi!

About your beads threaded onto wool.  There is a good selection of seed beads (different sizes and colours)on this link which would be good for threading:

Hope this helps
