  One extremely important lesson I learned is that there's no one, all-purpose (Universal) stringing material.
  
  Listed below are the important stringing products together with how and when to use each of them.
  
  Cotton THREAD: Silk has a hand (a soft, flexible sense). This thread is available in many shapes and colors. It comes packed on spools, and carded with an attached needle. This is a basic stringing substance and forms beautiful knots between beads and pearls. But, silk tends to be fairly sensitive. It may extend, be cut by harsh drops, rot when wet, and pearls strung on silk must be re strung every several years. It is better to use silk lightweight, smooth-holed beans and when stringing pearls, just. A hook is necessary. Learn further on swarovski chaton by going to our impressive link.
  
  ABS THREAD: (Nymo ): This line also comes in several sizes and colors. It comes carded with a needle attached, and packaged on spools, on bobbins. Nylon can be used where-ever cotton can and is not as sensitive. This content troubles beautifully and can be utilized for pearl stringing, in a few installed jewelry, seed beadwork, loom weaving, for Peyote and heishi, and other specialty stitches. Plastic expands much less than cotton, and it wont decay when wet. Like silk, you shouldnt use drops with sharp edged holes or which are large. I would suggest you coat your thread with bees wax or Thread HeavenTM before use to prevent it from fraying, when you use nylon thread. A needle is necessary.
  
  BONDED NYLON: This is a much stronger kind of nylon thread. The lengths are literally fused together for extra strength and abrasion protection. It doesnt have the hand of cotton, though it troubles well. Bonded abs will come in various shades and smaller spools. This comes near being a Universal Thread because of its abrasion resistance, you should use it with hard, more rough treasure beads; in reality. Brands include: Stringth or Silkon. A needle is important, although you are able to put Super Glue on-the end to make a Self-needle. It is a favorite beading content of mine.
  
  FISHING LINE: This product is a tough, semi-rigid, single strand of plastic. It doesnt knot well, and with time sunlight or ultraviolet light can cause it to weaken and falter. Fishing line is ordered on small spools and comes in sporting goods stores. Personally, I take advantage of fishing line for two reasons. I use it to do my initial stringing while I'm developing a ring (I transfer the beads to a better material for the final solution), and to string together organic strings of beads. There's no needle necessary. I'd never use this material for a final beaded part.
