Use for 6/0 8/0 & 11/0 seed beads or other beads with at least a .8 mm hole.
We recommend using our Collapsible Eye Needles or a Big Eye Needle to use for threading, as this cord is a bit too thick for a regular beading needle.
For easy knotting use our Beadsmith #5 Knotting Tweezers - use the right tool to make your job as perfect as you can!

This cord is a great one for stringing seed bead necklaces and bracelets where you want to use the cord as the closure eg a sliding knot. The cord is supple and gives a really lovely elegant drape to your jewellery accessories. Micro macrame makers love this thread as the knots kind of have a bit of 'bite' to them, rather than when you use a smooth cord.
