Nylon threads resist breakdown by sunlight, or weak acids or alkalis and are color and sunlight resistant. They have poor resistance to strong chlorine bleaching, but pool chlorine is still safe. Nylon stretches a lot like silk does. This thread is the most commonly used beading fiber and is readily available.
Thought all beading threads were the same? You'd be surprised to know that certain threads work better than others when it comes to making beautiful beaded jewelry. About Threads has some terrific information on the types of threads used commonly in beading projects. As always, too, you can drop us a line (no pun intended) at our website and ask us which type of thread or cord would be appropriate for what you want to create.
