Hi knotting gurus,

Is there a formula/guesstimate to calculate how much length the knots will add to an unknotted strand? Obviously there are variables - length of strand, no. of pearls, thickness of thread, single or double knots etc, but for an average 17 inch unfinished strand, do the knots add more or less than an inch? I am knotting up some more of the "klonks" on 30lb powerpro - about 35 pearls in all, with single knots - just wondering if anyone can help..

Thanks again!
Nerida
