    I dont have much experience with this thread but so far it seems fine. Threading the needle with it is relatively easy and it seems plenty strong for my purpose since I always go through everything at least twice.

    This is great for my beaded projects! Its strong without having to be thick, I can go through 11/0s and 15/0s several times. The ends dont fray which was a problem with nymo.

    This is a pleasure. Easy to thread. Just the right thickness

When you want to create necklaces or bracelets quickly and efficiently, Fireline is up to the task. 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. Originally used in the fishing industry as a strong fishing line, the thread was adopted by the jewelry making community and has been super popular ever since.

Fireline comes in 5 sizes: 2lb. test strength with a .003”/.07mm diameter, 4lb. test with a .005”/.12mm diameter, 6lb. test with a .006”/.15mm diameter, 8lb. test with a .007”/.17mm diameter, 10lb. test with a .008”/.20mm diameters and 14lb. test with a .009”/.22mm diameter. The spools come in a variety of lengths and in 3 colors: clear, black and smoke grey. For stringing and weaving we suggest English beading needles. Use a #12 for 2-6lb. test and a #10 for larger diameters. To finish off your Fireline jewelry your best option is a thread burner. The Beadsmith Thread Zappers are a perfect solution. You can control exactly where the heat is applied. Tie a knot to finish your project and burn the end. A small ball will form on the melted end, preventing the knot from untying.
