    Strong . No raveling when beading.

    I have been doing bead weaving for years and have used many types of bead thread. The fireline thread is the most versatile bead thread, in my option. It is thin but durable, and easy to untangle. It is a shame that there are so few colors to choose from.

    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.

    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!

    I use this to make beaded jewelry. This was a very good price so I grabbed a couple spools.

    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.

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

    Been using this line for over ten years. Strong and very tough! I carry 10 rods on the boat, and everyone of them has Fireline on it.

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.
