Hello Gemmers I am looking for wooden donut beads to use in several of our school workshops. We used to get them from YPO but found that the hole in the middle wasn't always big enough for the children to thread the string through. At the moment I am ordering beads from Australia via ebay but would much rather use a UK based supplier to reduce the postage costs. These are the ones I have been ordering to give you an idea of what I am after '8mm WOODEN Washer Saucer Donut Beads ASSORTED COLOR' http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300-8mm-WOODEN-Washer-Saucer-Donut-Beads-ASSORTED- COLOR_W0QQitemZ260358331317QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_Beads_CA?hash=it em3c9e90dbb5&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7 C294%3A30 <http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/300-8mm-WOODEN-Washer-Saucer-Donut-Beads-ASSORTED -COLOR_W0QQitemZ260358331317QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_Beads_CA?hash=i tem3c9e90dbb5&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1% 7C294%3A30> Does anyone know of a supplier of wooden donut beads (both coloured and natural) that have a hole with a minimum of 3mm diameter? I hope someone out there can help!
