Question

What's the best kind of thread to use for making bead jewelry?

Answer 1

It will very much depend on the type of beads and the type of jewelry you are intending to make.

If you are making a single strand jewelry any tupe of nylon coated wire will do (best if you are using beads that tends to cut through the string like crystal beads)

If you are making a more complicated jewelry like bead netting or peyote stitch or right angle weave and the material is round seed beads then the normal nylon line (without wire inlay) will perform better.

Happy Beading!

Answer 2

Beadalon , nylon coated stainless steal ;)))

Answer 3

Beadalon has worked well for me. You should be able to find it online at most jewelry/beading retailers. I use it alot in the video tutorials I offer on my website: JaneWear.com
