Can you translate?

I am very eager to get into beading. I need a little help understanding what this means:

"Hanks are 24 strings (2 strings = 1 loop) and 10" long."

Does this mean that I am getting 24 10" long strings of each color? Sounds like an amazing deal but also a LOT of beads. I'd like to get a large variety of colors to play with but I think I want a smaller amount?

I'm looking at the Crazy Crow site because it was recommended to me by someone local here but I cannot ask them about this so I need reddit help.

Another bad flare

I am looking at the available appts for my Dr. I’ve been avoiding asking for a diagnosis because most of the time, it’s not an issue. But this week I had another huge flare of inflammation and my hand was achy and slightly swollen and I couldn’t use it for a day or two to open things, turn on water, etc because of the pain.

I guess I’m just worried about being blown off by the Dr or being wrong. This is the only heberdens looking node that I have. It showed up in January.

Does it look like a real bone spur node? Worth going to the Dr for an actual diagnosis? I feel like if I could say “I have a diagnosis” that it would be good but I know I am a bit of a hypochondriac and usually just talk myself out of going to the dr.

This might sound silly. But I’d feel better if people either said “yes that looks like how this started for me“ or “no, that looks completely different and sounds like something else”.
