STRINGING MATERIALS

Multi-strand Wire Cables

The toughest stringing material there is, this type of beading wire has wire twisted together and coated with flexible nylon. The strength I normally use has 49 wires, and typically requires wire cutters to sever, so it's mean to last (and like all other products on this site, is not intended for children to wear on the playground). Soft-Flex is the brand of beading wire I use most often. If the brand, strength, or type of beading wire varies from this description, I'll state that in the product description.

Power-Pro Brand Beading Thread

Power-Pro brand thread is an extremely strong, braided polyurethane stringing material that's more like cord than thread, but it's slender enough to be used for some netted and woven bead-work as well as for stringing.

Nylon Beading Thread

This is what is used for most bead-weaving, since the thread has to not only be strong but also has to be thin enough to pass several times through typical glass seed beads (usually size 11) and other small beads.
