    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.

    Perfetto. Lo uso per le mie creazioni con le perline e non lo sostituirei con nessun altro. E sottilissimo, resistente e tiene bene i nodi.

    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...

    alternative to numo or other polyester weaving thread. This is much stronger, you need strong scissors to cut as its actually very fine wire but acts like thread. Kinks if wrapped around card rather than a reel. Smoke is universal color to use with ,most darkish beads. I use the extra fine with seed beads

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.
