What is the best beading thread to use?
Nylon beading threads create bead weaving that feels like a supple fabric, so they are perfect for off-loom beading stitches like right-angle weave, herringbone stitch, and square stitch. The thinner nylon beading threads work well with beading stitches that require more than one pass through each bead.
What is comparable to FireLine?
Wildfire and Fireline are almost virtually the same, however they do have a few differences that are important to point out.
Is NYMO thread strong?
Nymo thread is strong and supple, but it can fray when it is overworked. Nymo is used with glass seed beads for off-loom bead weaving and bead embroidery or as a weft thread in loom beading. It is especially good for making jewelry with tassels and fringe that are strong but with supple movement.
What is the difference between WildFire and FireLine?
The second major difference is all about colour. Fireline thread is basically available in three colours: crystal, black, and smoke (that’s a very dark grey – almost black). Wildfire has a bigger range of colours available. These include blue, red, green, in addition to the basic white and black.
Can you use crimp beads on FireLine?
Topics: Thread, Wire, Crimping A. If you want to use thread, then Berkeley® FireLine® is probably the best choice for the project if the weight is less than 6 pounds, otherwise the largest diameter Accu-Flex® beading wire that will fit the beads would also work well.
Is FireLine beading thread the same as fishing line?
FireLine is a fishing line, more specifically—a “braided monofilament thread”. It is very different from the clear “single mono-filament” fishing line that you may have used when fishing as a kid and what many Japanese beaders use in their beaded designs.

What is NYMO thread made of?
nylon
Nymo thread is made from nylon that is twisted and lightly waxed, which makes it great for beading and loom work. The 3oz spools have a heavier density and finish than the bobbins. Try to use the largest size thread permitted by your beads for the best strength.
