> 3 dayI am new to beading and have tried a few different types of thread - Fireline is my favorite. It produces an item with a little less drape than Nymo or spun threads, so it may not be ideal for all types of beadwork. I have been using this for loom beading (warp and weft) and it gives my bracelets a nice amount of structure. It is also much more durable than other types (no noticeable wear if I have to unpick a row or two and redo) - and tangles/knots less.

> 3 dayThis stuff had become my go to for my beaded embroidery jewelry. Its tough enough to not break if the piece gets caught on something try thin enough to go through seed beads.

> 3 dayExcellent as always! The size is consistant and I always keep both Crystal and black/smoke on hand in three sizes. 4,6 & 8! Wish it cost less, but the rice is pretty standard everywhere. Those of us that bead are willing to pay it.

Greater than one weekLove this thread. I do a lot of beading, mostly peyote stitch. I now use this thread exclusively. It does not separate like Nymo, does not need waxing. The only drawback is that I do not have a pair of scissors sharp enough to cut it but I got a thread zapper which works like a charm. It is very strong and have never had it break on me in the middle of a project. With other threads, I had problems with areas of use, such has the loop for an earring hook, breaking. This stuff will never break or wear.

> 3 dayI love fireline, it’s the best thread and I use it all the time and I’ve found 6lb is a good medium weight. I definitely recommend it and won’t use anything else for my bead-weaving.
