Beadschool Tutorial - Materials: Fireline

Описание: Fireline is an excellent beading thread, although it was developed as a fishing line so it comes in many strengths. The main ones used in beadwork are 4lb and 6lb. It's strong and quite resilient when using crystals (even good quality crystals like Swarovski can occasionally have a sharp edge which could cut the beading thread)! Smoke coloured Fireline is a very neutral colour and goes well with many bead colours and shades except very pale colours and transparent beads where you really don't want the thread to show. Fireline comes on spools from 50 - 3000 yds! Obviously the larger the spool, the less expensive per yard. Most good craft suppliers stock it, but you can often find it costing slightly less on Angling and Sports sites.
