What do you use for the string in beaded necklaces?

In: Beading
[Edit]

Necklace String

Most beaders use Nymo nylon beading thread in the size that corresponds to the type of beads used (seed beads, hex, pony beads, etc).

Anything one might need or want relating to beading and jewelry making including free patterns and instructions can be found at Fire Mountain Gems which is, IMO. the best wholesaler of beads, gems, jewelry findings, finished products, and so forth.

C-Lon, available at www.caravanbeads.com is also popular.
For heavier threaded bead necklaces, tigertail is often used; it is a thread made up of strands of stainless steel and coated. Softflex is a common brand.

There is also elastic or tiger tail
