> 3 dayThis is so great for many of my seed bead projects when I need a bit of firmness and less flexibility. Its thin enough to thread into a #12 beading needle, too! The color is a soft white, it blends into light colored beads just fine.

> 3 dayI’ve been beading for 2 years. Right away I started with wolf fire and I’ve been dedicated to that brand for 2 years. Unfortunately lately they have not been up to my standards for my beading. So I had to find a replacement and many beaders recommended fireline and I have to say this stuff is amazing. For the longest time I refused to even try it because I’m a dedicated person and stick to products that work for me, but I’m not sure I’ll be going back to wildfire now. This stuff is smoooooth. It’s a dream to pass thru the eye of the needles I use (size 11 beading needles) it’s very strong. It can pass thru size 11 beads multiple times with ease and no broken beads! It’s expensive is the only issue for me. In times like this it would be wonderful to be able to do my passions and save money lol.

Greater than one weekI love the larger size for the money.
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.

FIRELINE: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. |
EASY FINISH:Because this is a super strong material, we recommend using sharp, precise scissors for cutting the string. However, the thread can also be burned instead of snipping. A thread burner is easier to use and more precise. This method seals the ends, which prevents frayed edges or split ends. |
VERSATILE:Originally used by fisherman as a high-quality fishing line, this thread took off in the jewelry making world. It can be threaded on a needle and used for stringing or bead weaving. The thread does not stretch, or tangle and the strength of the cord is essential when working with heavier beads and findings. |
