Plied from 100% pure silk, this twisted three-ply silk cord is luxuriously soft, smooth, and supple, yet durable and stretch-resistant. Ideal for knotting pearls, gemstones, and crystal beads.
These days a lot of beaders just prefer silk as their chosen threading cord, even for regular beads & especially seed beads. Chokers & bracelets can have the cord on display at the ends, & made into part of the design with a small tasseled or frayed end, or macrame sliding closure.
Tip: To make secure endings, use a Charlotte Crimp at the ends, and knot the silk inside it, then trim with sharp mini scissors. Now attach the charlotte crimp to your clasp.
