where to find good beads for hemp?

Are there any websites that wholesale good beads for hemp jewelery making? I’m sick of going to the same craft stores and seeing the same things.. I use mostly 5mm beads. Do all 5mm bead have the same size holes?
Or does anyone know of any places that sell a variety of beads in Northern Utah? I’ve been to all the Joann’s, Micheal’s, Robert’s, and Hobby Lobby’s around here and they all have the same things.. Please and thank you :)
Thanks, I’ll check it out :) But how do I know the hole size? I hate buying beads and then finding out the hole is too small :/ I think the size of hemp I’m using is 1 or 2mm..

    No, all 5mm beads do not have the same hole size. Some will fit hemp and some will not. Check the hole size you need. Measure it in millimeters (mm.) I recommend Fire Mountian (www.firemountaingems.com) as a good wholesaler. They have quantity discounts, but do not require purchasers to have a resale license. Get a friend to go in with you on an order, and you’ll save big bucks.
