FireLine: The Essential Thread for Beading Jewelry

If you're a fan of handmade jewelry, you've probably heard of FireLine thread . Known for its exceptional strength and ease of use, this thread is the preferred choice of designers and artisans who work with beads. Manufactured by Berkley® , FireLine is a heat-fused thread originally designed for fishing, but has taken the jewelry world by storm thanks to its unique properties.

Why choose FireLine?

Unlike other jewelry threads, FireLine stands out for its durability and versatility . Its innovative thermal fusion process makes it a high-strength thread that doesn't fray, stretch, and is extremely difficult to break. Below, we'll explain its main advantages:

1. Abrasion Resistance

FireLine is designed to withstand constant friction with glass, crystal, or metal beads without wearing down. This makes it perfect for projects that require frequent threading and multiple passes of thread through a single bead.

2. Flexibility and Ease of Use

Despite its great strength, FireLine is a surprisingly flexible thread. It easily conforms to the shapes of your designs without losing its firmness and can be used with Wide-eye Needle™ and #12 English Beading Needles for effortless threading.

3. UV protection

If you're worried about sunlight affecting the quality of your creations, FireLine is the solution. Its UV protection prevents the thread from deteriorating over time, ensuring the longevity of your pieces.

4. Available in different thicknesses and colors

FireLine comes in a variety of diameters, from 4 lb (0.12 mm) to 8 lb (0.17 mm), allowing you to choose the right one based on the type of bead and the design you want to create. It's also available in colors like Crystal (clear) and Smoke (dark gray) to match different color palettes.

What projects is FireLine ideal for?

• Fabrics with Miyuki (peyote, brick stitch, herringbone, etc.)

• Beaded embroidery

• Stringing small beads

• Creating durable bracelets and necklaces
