- What beads does 0.1mm thread fit?
- It fits seed beads, delicas, small pearls and most beads with holes under about 0.5mm. Larger-hole beads work too, but a thicker cord gives more strength for heavy pieces.
- Is nylon thread strong enough for bracelets?
- For lightweight beaded bracelets, yes. Nylon handles repeated flexing well. For heavy pendants or stretch-style bracelets, use a thicker braided cord or beading wire.
- How do I keep nylon knots from slipping?
- Nylon is slick, so tie a double knot and add a dab of bead glue, or weave the tail back through several beads before trimming. A surgeon's knot also holds better than a simple one.
- Can I use it with a beading needle?
- Yes. Its fine gauge passes through most beading needles, including size 10 and 12. Threading is easier if you cut the end at an angle and moisten it slightly.
- Does the thread stretch over time?
- Nylon stretches less than cotton but can relax slightly under constant tension. Leave a little slack in woven pieces and avoid over-tightening, which also prevents breakage.
- Is it good for bead weaving and loom work?
- Yes, this is a common gauge for loom and off-loom weaving with seed beads. It passes through beads multiple times, though very tight weaves may need a slightly heavier thread.
