Techeiles – Tekhelet – Techelet – Tcheiles Strings in Toronto and globally at Unbeatable Prices

The Torah commands Jews to, in the event one is wearing a four cornered garment, to wear Tzitzit, with includes an essential ingredient: a Psil Techeiles. While the definitions of Psil and Techeiles are open to debate, and whether one pronounces/spells it as Techeiles, Tekhelet, Techelet, or Tcheiles, the general consensus is that it’s a string or strings of biblical blue. This blue color is sourced by a mysterious sea creature called a Chilazon.
The most popular form of Techeiles today is sourced from the murex trunculus snail. This is the main Techeiles that’s being sold on this site.

Common Questions and Answers
Tying Details
- How many Chulyot can be made with Tosafot strings? Up to 13, which is perfect for GR”A or Chinuch (not R’ Schachter).
- I would like to tie 7-8-11-13 with Raavad (1/4 ratio). Can I do so with your strings? The Raavad strings by Ptil Tekhelet provided should be long enough to cover 7-8-11-13. Same with Rambam strings.
- I would like you to do the tying. What are next steps? Supply the beged for tying and one of our staff would do the tying based on the style of your choice. You would then get called when tying is completed.
- What happens to my old strings once cut off or untied? You have the option to keep them yourself or they can be taken for disposal of Sheimos.
- Where may I pick up the strings? We would meet locally (your place, coffee shop, etc.) to conduct the transaction.
Testimonials

Rafi is very knowledgeable on the matters of tzitzis , techeles and talesim. He was extremely helpful and instrumental in me getting to understand the topic of techeles. Excellent service and high quality tzitzis.

Rafi was knowledgeable of the halachot and different inyanim of tzitzit. He did an excellent job in preparing my different begedim, and the fact that he would pick up and drop off was an added bonus. May he continue to help everyone be kaiyum the full mitzvah of tzitzit in the proper way.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the Blue Fringes website providing techeles in Toronto at reasonable prices. I was very impressed with the wide variety of both strings and tying styles available. My order was promptly ready the next day and I want to commend Reb Rafi for his care, commitment and tremendous knowledge.
