Hi! I love your website! I need to find out where I can get the cord to make a BROWN LARGE (24 ") rosary. I have been asked to make them for two Sisters who will provide the crucifixes. Can you clue me in as to where I can purchase the cord and how much I would need for that size? Thank you so much!
