Test weight. size d Review: Really good for beading - A very good product for beading. Although pricey it's worth paying the extra money. Review: Beading/Fishing braid -it's both. - This braid tends to come in bulk spools when sold as fishing line,whereas the same product marketed as beading braid comes in handy 50 metre length,which is all I needed to load my vintage reel. The semi translucent nature of the line may or may not make it less noticable to the fish than coloured line but one would like to think it did. The Crystal braid floats which is an important quality when trotting. Being braid it is much thinner than equivalent strength conventional nylon monofiliment bit has a lot less stretch. I've used this product before in.different strengths and been pleased how it handles with centrepin reels. ## Features - FIRELINE: This is a microfused, braided bead thread consisting of Dyneema, a gel-spun polyethylene which is known as the strongest fiber, per diameter, ever created. It has an unbelievably high tensile strength and has been recommended in numerous how-to articles on beadworking. - DETAILS: Made in the USA, our Fireline is 6lb. test and comes in a crystal color. The cord measures 50 yards and .006” (.15mm) in diameter. - EASY FINISH: Because this is a super strong material, we recommend using sharp, precise scissors for cutting the string. However, the thread can also be burned instead of snipping. A thread burner is easier to use and more precise. This method seals the ends, which prevents frayed edges or split ends. - VERSATILE: Originally used by fisherman as a high-quality fishing line, this thread took off in the jewelry making world. It can be threaded on a needle and used for stringing or bead weaving. The thread does not stretch, or tangle and the strength of the cord is essential when working with heavier beads and findings. - THE BEADSMITH- 40 years in the making!

Beadworkers and beadstringers will find that this new product feels and works better than the finest bead thread, yet is as strong as jewelry wire. Most beads will not cut this product. It does not stretch, it knots easily, and will pass through a #12 beading needle. Similar to size A or B Nymo. **Q: Hi is this thread 6lb or 4lb as in description it says its a 4lb test** A: Looking at the picture alongside yr question, it says 6lb weight. I only use. 6lb weight. Make sure it is onlt 6lb in weight for beading etc. they do make a 4lb weight but I find it not suitable for beading. Hope this helps **Q: for the .009 fireline, what size bead hole will fit on this thread?** A: I just thread from the spool and try different size beads. Go through a bead at least twice to make sure. **Q: Can this be used with size 11 myiuki seed beads?** A: Hi Yes it can be used with no problems, so for typical bead stitches such as Peyote, Right Angle Weave and so on, this thread is absolutely fine to use. Please note that with all threads multiple passes through the same bead will eventually fill the hole.
