Make lots of DIY costume bead jewelry with this spool of black 8-strand braided nylon thread .
Very practical, this Berkley thread is ideal for stringing all kinds of beads, including Miyuki and other Seed beads, gemstone beads, freshwater pearls...
Its high-density PE core features an exclusive microcrystalline nano-coating that gives the cord an incredibly smooth surface, so it glides smoothly through the eye of a needle.
In terms of strength, the 8-strand weave ensures exceptional knot resistance and load-bearing capacity, while the almost total lack ofelasticity (< 3%) offers millimetric tension control, invaluable for clean, well-calibrated patterns.
This yarn may bleed slightly when first handled: we recommend rubbing it gently with a dry cloth before use to limit color transfer.

American resistance levels expressed in Pounds (LB) are measured with the presence of knots. These resistance levels should not be converted.
