    Well, would can I say about Fireline. I dont have many options in weaving thread. I need something fine and strong. Nylon thread just doesnt do it for me. And Fireline - kinks and knots and just gives me a hard time. I wish I could find something that doesnt give me such an awful time. I really dont like this thread. But until something better comes along...sigh!

    Does not seem like real fireline, easy to knot up and easily broken

    Great thread for beading., Helpful hint is after you cut the length that you need take a piece of folded fabric softener sheets and wipe..

    I love the Beadsmith line, and when I have a project that calls for small seed beads, this is my go to brand. Its very thin, easy to thread into a needle (even with a tiny hole) and it is STRONG. Michaels uses this thread in the bead classes they offer.

    I like Fireline over Wildfire. It works better for me.

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.
