ONLINE SHOPPINGStringing Materials — Silk

Silk is one of the most beautiful stringing materials available today. Our silk comes in 2-meter lengths (that’s about 6 ½ feet), with a steel needle woven into one end. The silk is made of two strands twisted together to give you the prettiest looking knots. Silk does need to be stretched overnight before you knot a project so that it is ready to work with. Silk is as much as 10 times stronger than nylon of the same size, so you’ll always have enormous strength in your piece. Irregular edges or rough bead holes will wear away at silk cord and end up cutting through over time, so it is important to make sure that all of your bead holes are smooth and finished. If you think you need to smooth out any bead holes, a diamond bead reamer will be your ideal tool. Our silk comes in five different sizes and fifteen different colors, perfect for all kinds of projects. Pick the color that’s closest to your beads for a classic look or pick a contrasting color for a more contemporary design.
