This cord measures approximately 0.38mm (.015") in diameter and is called size FF.
Colour Note: Most of the photos look like they are a pinkish grey, but it is a definite grey like in the first photo.
Quantity per pack: 10 metres hand wound onto a floss card, by us. (This way you don't have to buy a complete spool to try it out. Buy these quantities in many colours, rather than an enormous quantity of just one colour! Then you will have a colour for all jobs and occasions!)
Try it, you'll be amazed!
Nothing is as soft or as smooth as silk. 100% silk bead cord is so soft, you won't even feel it slip through your fingers. Designs made on 100% silk bead cord drape naturally and look elegant.
For easy stringing, try using our Collapsible Eye or Big Eye Needles to make your threading easier.
Tip: Use our Beadsmith #5 Knotting Tweezers for silk knots - use the right tool to make your job as perfect as you can!
Plied from 100% pure silk, this twisted three-ply silk cord is luxuriously soft, smooth, and supple, yet durable and stretch-resistant. Ideal for knotting pearls, gemstones, and crystal beads.
These days a lot of beaders just prefer silk as their chosen threading cord, even for regular beads & especially seed beads. Chokers & bracelets can have the cord on display at the ends, & made into part of the design with a small tasseled or frayed end, or macrame sliding closure.
Tip: To make secure endings, use a Charlotte Crimp at the ends, and knot the silk inside it, then trim with sharp mini scissors. Now attach the charlotte crimp to your clasp.
