    I was looking to save some money on this product but the shops near me are sold out or too expensive. This was a good price for me

    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.

    8lb. Fireline in the best if you want your project to hold up.

    This is the first time Ive used this thread for loom beading. The thread performs well with few tangles and good strength. I love the look of the finished product too. However, the one things I dont like is that the black color comes off on your hands as it runs through your fingers while warping a beading loom. I end up with all these black lines on my hands where Ive held the tension on the thread. Its noteworthy that it doesnt come off easily even with dawn dish soap. Id 100% leave a 5 star rating if they could fix that problem for me.

    Thank you for offering beading thread and not selling fishing line as beading thread. Everyone thinks they are the same, but they are not. I only use this and Wildfire brand if this is unavailable...

    The thread is very strong yet allow lots of flexibility at the same time with sturdiness. I use this thread to make beaded jewelry.

    Im so happy with this purchase. I cannot even find fireline near me as its always sold out.

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.
