The Tuff Nylon Bead Cord is a 3 ply twisted bonded cord made from long nylon filaments available in 16 colors and several sizes. It will not stretch or stain, and resists fraying and shredding. The Size 5 is comparable to the C-Lon Bead Cord, Mastex Nylon #18 and Conso Nylon #18. All 16 colors are available in Size 1, 3 and 5. Some colors are available in Size 2. Only Black and White are available in Size 0, 6 and 7. This brand was created for bead stringing with a small output of 1/4 ounce (7.08g.). The quality of this thread, the variety of sizes and some of the colors available are without competition in the current offering of thread. The Tuff Nylon Bead Cord appears to be similar or the same exact thread sold under other names such as Stringth and Silkon, but be aware that the spools under these other names are spooled by yards, not weight, making price comparison a little more difficult. The Tuff Bead Cord can be used for micro-macrame, simple or complex beading projects, bead crochet, cordmaking, kumuhimo braiding, half-hitching, Cavandoli tapestry knotting...

Personal Note :: I have used this thread for years, even tough it costs more per yard than any of the other brands. It is a great choice if you need a color in several sizes or just a small amount of thread. I have used the Purple, Gold and Green in Size 5 for many years sold under a different name in smaller yardage at greater cost. I cant wait to play with all the new possibilities!

16 colors :: Select Size :: Note Size 5 is the most common size for micro macrame and the default choice when available. Spooled by weight on plastic spools with cover. Yardage varies depending on the size. See chart. Made in the USA.
