Beading Thread what is the correct name for the type im looking for?

Question

Ok here is a little info =)

Im looking for the colored thread, it is thin but looks like to me that it has wax over it? Has any ever a "book thong" its a book marker made of thread and beads, i want to make my own but I can seem to find the right thread. I dont want to use regular thread becasue I know if spilt, and get all messed in little time unlike the ones used for the beading/book marks. Does anyone what type of thead I need to get? I dont know the specific name or where it can be bought? I did look at Michaels and all they mostly had was hemp, other natrual threads, leather and of course wire, but there was nothing else. Please any help would be great!!!

I use NYMO size D it is very strong and can be used with beads as small as size 13.

I hope this helps.
