Cord

Elastic Cord is great for slip-on jewelry ~ like bracelets, watch bands or children's necklaces. Elastic cord can be knotted and used with beads with larger than 1mm diameter holes. Terminate your strands by knotting or with cord caps or cord coils and clasp.

Super Strenght "Parachute" Necklace Cord is made from super hi-tech “spectra fibers,” which gives it less stretch (3%) when compared to most monofilaments. It is naturally waterproof and resists 100% of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet radiation. It has a tensile strength 10 times stronger than steel, with superior abrasion resistance..

C-Thru "Thread" is a woven clear nylon cord (like fishing line, but not just a single strand). It's great for clear beads, such as Austrian crystal, where you want little or no cord color to show through. It may also be used where you would use nylon cord. It knots well and can be used with bead tips.

Stretch Floss Cord retains its shape memory longer than other elastic beading cords. It takes and holds knots well.

Invisible Beading Cord is clear and nearly undetectable to the naked eye. Perfect for illusion-style necklaces.

Wire

Memory Wire is rigid and pre-coiled wire which makes simple and stylish finger and toe rings, bracelets and necklaces. This genuine stainless steel wire won't rust like ordinary cold-rolled steel memory wire sold by others. Easy to use: just make a loop on one side, string on beads and finish with a loop or a 1/2-drilled bead. Use in single loops or multi-loop combinations.

Beading Wire (Accu-Flex™ and Acculon™) is a twisted stainless steel wire with a plastic coating. Accu-Flex™ wire is an excellent choice for abrasive beads and gives an appealing drape to lightweight beads such as gemstone heishe, liquid gold or liquid silver and bugle or seed beads. It is also sold in thicker weights to accommodate larger, heavier bead strands. Begin and end strands by using crimp beads or crimp clasps. Acculon™ is great for beads with sharpened holes. No beading needle required.

Super-Thin Beading Wire is 34-gauge wire for beading projects which comes in gold and silver color spools; each spool contains 24 yards. Use it for forming shapes, weaving around findings or making dream catchers. Because the thread is so fine, this wire will accommodate almost any drill hole. It is to be used for lightweight beads only ~ bugle or seed beads ~ as it is very thin and does not have much tensile strength.

Colourcraft™ Wire is a color-coated copper-based crafting wire. It is soft and extremely malleable and retains shape moderately well.

Precious Metal Wire is used for wire-wrapping, chain-making and other jewelry construction. Available in two metals (gold-filled and sterling silver ), in three shapes (round, half-round and square) and in three hardnesses (dead soft, half-hard and full hard).

Dead Soft Wire is extremely malleable and can be bent easily into a myriad of shapes. It does not hold its shape in stress situations, such as clasps.

Half Hard Wire is malleable; however, it will maintain an intricate shape under moderate stress. Useful for weight-bearing parts of wire-wrapped jewelry.

Full Hard Wire holds its shape for wire-wrapping jewelry. Its tempered nature holds intricate designs well. Excellent for clasps.
