Our take on the The Beadsmith Flex-Rite Beading Wire

Flex-Rite is a multi-strand beading wire from The Beadsmith, made of stainless steel strands coated in colored nylon. The 49-strand version is the most flexible in the line, at .014 inch thick, and comes on a 30-foot spool in a satin gold finish. It suits beaders who string necklaces and bracelets that need to drape softly and hold up to wear. Against stiffer, fewer-strand wires, it bends more easily and resists kinking, but it is thicker and less supple than finer-diameter wires for delicate work.
