Make durable stretch bracelets with Opelon's flat, strong, latex-free wire !
Beadsmith's OPELON™ yarn is a stretchy yarn made from synthetic fibers (Lycra/Spandex), specially designed for the creation of elastic jewelry. Its flat, flexible and highly resistant structure makes it an ideal ally for creating clasp-free, fitted and long-lasting bracelets.
Unlike rubber or latex wires, Opelon doesn't relax over time, doesn't break easily and doesn't cause latex-related allergies. Fine and elastic, it passes easily through beads with small holes while maintaining excellent hold.
