Fireline 10lb (.008") Smoke Grey Braided Bead Thread -50yd
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 is available in two colors, Crystal and Smoke Grey, in four sizes. We offer 4 lb. test with .005"/.12mm diameter, 6 lb. test with .006"/.15mm diameter, 8 lb. test with .007"/.17mm diameter, and 10 lb. test with .008"/.20mm diameter in a variety of spool lengths. We recommend using English beading needles for stringing and weaving with FireLine. Use #12 for 4 & 6 lb. test and #10 needles for larger diameters. To finish off your Fireline jewelry, thread burners such as The BeadSmith's Thread Zappers are a perfect solution because they enable you to pinpoint exactly where heat is applied. Simply tie a knot to finish your project, then burn the end. A small ball will form on the melted end that prevents the knot from untying.

During summer months we always recommend customers select Express Post when ordering heat sensitive items such as polymer clay as it will reduce the likelihood of clay being semi-baked in transit. For more information on our shipping please click here
