Beadalon Flexible Beading Wire
Beadalon Flexible Wire is an incredibly strong, multistrand stainless steel cable that is nylon coated, and made specifically for bead stringing. The higher the number of strands used, the higher the flexibility. So even though the 49 Strand version is the same overall thickness as the 7 Strand version, it is more flexible. You can use Beadalon wire with components such as Pearls, Glass Beads, Metal Beads, Natural Stone Beads, Swarovski Crystals, Miyuki Seed Beads, and almost anything else you can imagine.
Beadalon 7 Strand is made up of 7 strands of wire incorporated within a protective, abrasion-resistant nylon coating. Good for general beading projects.
Beadalon 19 Strand has 19 miniature wires incorporated within a protective, abrasion-resistant nylon coating. The ideal combination of strength, flexibility and price.
Beadalon 49 Strand consists of 49 smaller wires stranded together and nylon-coated for the best flexibility. The preferred wire for professional designers who demand premium strength, softness and flexibility.
