Just a note to say that a major upgrade to the Paternoster-Row website is on its way! I spent part of this past weekend working on it with my web guru, and am...
I don't know of any sources for historical ones, but the types used in the Russian Orthodox church are chotki (a knotted prayer rope of 33, 50, 100, or 300,...

It sounds like there has been some very good information circulating in the group re: this topic. I will pipe in with a little more information. This link has...
So I think I've gotten all my materials together, and I'm about to try my first paternoster. (I've never done anything remotely like this, so please bear with...
Dear Lianor If your beads all have holes of a similar size it helps. Maybe not authentic of the period, but use a very fine piece of soft fusewire doubled over...
The size of the holes in your beads will determine what kind of thread you can use. A needle such as the one in the link that follows would probably work the...
Interesting - I've never seen a needle like that. I wonder if anyone here in town carries them... Yes, the plan is to do a tassle with the same silk as the...
Twisted wire needles also have a relatively large eye, which "collapses" nicely when you pull it through a bead with a small hole. I also find the eye on these...
I've been issued a challenge by a friend of mine to recreate (as best as I can) a Crusader's paternoster. My google-fu is failing miserably, and I was...

I know of an extant paternoster from about 1260, made of five groups of disk-shaped amber beads with larger amber beads as spacers. Also, there's a...
... Interesting project! Short answer: To the best of my knowledge, there are no complete paternosters surviving from that early (i.e. before 1300), so what we...
This group is so great. How many people can you find in your day that like to talk about paternosters?! Chris mentioned the form of a straight string of 10...
Thanks for the responses! I've been playing around today, and it's brought up even more questions. I'm so very inexperienced in all craft-related areas!...
