Beadsmith Fireline Microfused Braided Bead Thread, Variety Pack, 3 X 15 Yard Spools, Clear, 4,6,8 Lb Strength

FIRELINE: This is a microfused, braided bead thread consisting of Dyneema, a gel-spun polyethylene which is known as the strongest fiber, per diameter, ever created. It has an unbelievably high tensile strength and has been recommended in numerous how-to articles on beadworking. DETAILS: Made in the USA, this Fireline assortment is a crystal color thread in 3 sizes. The 4lb. test measures .005”/.12mm in diameter, 6lb. test is .006”/.15mm and 8lb. test is .007”/.17mm. Each spool is 15 yards in length. EASY FINISH: Because this is a super strong material, we recommend using sharp, precise scissors for cutting the string. However, the thread can also be burned instead of snipping. A thread burner is easier to use and more precise. This method seals the ends, which prevents frayed edges or split ends. VERSATILE: Originally used by fisherman as a high-quality fishing line, this thread took off in the jewelry making world. It can be threaded on a needle and used for stringing or bead weaving. The thread does not stretch, or tangle and the strength of the cord is essential when working with heavier beads and findings. THE BEADSMITH- 40 years in the making!
