Test, 006”\/.15mm Diameter, 50 Yard Spool, Smoke Grey – Super Strong Stringing Material for Jewelry Making and Bead Weaving","description":"When you want to create necklaces or bracelets quickly and efficiently, Fireline is up to the task. This is a microfused, braided bead thread consisting of Dyneema, a gel-spun polyethylene which is known as the strongest fiber, per diameter, ever created. It has an unbelievably high tensile strength and has been recommended in numerous how-to articles on beadworking. Originally used in the fishing industry as a strong fishing line, the thread was adopted by the jewelry making community and has been super popular ever since. Fireline comes in 5 sizes: 2lb. test strength with a .003”\/.07mm diameter, 4lb. test with a .005”\/.12mm diameter, 6lb. test with a .006”\/.15mm diameter, 8lb. test with a .007”\/.17mm diameter, 10lb. test with a .008”\/.20mm diameters and 14lb. test with a .009”\/.22mm diameter. The spools come in a variety of lengths and in 3 colors: clear, black and smoke grey. For stringing and weaving we suggest English beading needles. Use a #12 for 2-6lb. test and a #10 for larger diameters. To finish off your Fireline jewelry your best option is a thread burner. The Beadsmith Thread Zappers are a perfect solution. You can control exactly where the heat is applied. Tie a knot to finish your project and burn the end. A small ball will form on the melted end, preventing the knot from untying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFIRELINE: This is a microfused, braided bead thread consisting of Dyneema, a gel-spun polyethylene which is known as the strongest fiber, per diameter, ever created. It has an unbelievably high tensile strength and has been recommended in numerous how-to articles on beadworking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDETAILS: Made in the USA, our Fireline is 6lb. test and comes in a smoke grey color. The cord measures .006” (.15mm) in diameter. The 50 yards are wound on a spool that is secured with a clear plastic clip. Keep your thread secure and organized.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEASY FINISH: Because this is a super strong material, we recommend using sharp, precise scissors for cutting the string. However, the thread can also be burned instead of snipping. A thread burner is easier to use and more precise. This method seals the ends, which prevents frayed edges or split ends.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVERSATILE: Originally used by fisherman as a high-quality fishing line, this thread took off in the jewelry making world. It can be threaded on a needle and used for stringing or bead weaving. The thread does not stretch, or tangle and the strength of the cord is essential when working with heavier beads and findings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHE BEADSMITH- 40 years in the making!
