Material:
-
Parachute Silk (Not technically silk): This is a type of rayon with a similar sheen and softness commonly used for beading and jewelry making due to its affordability.
-
2-Ply: This refers to the number of strands twisted together to form the thread. A 2-ply thread is relatively thin and strong, but may not be ideal for very heavy beads.
Color:
- Blue: This is a classic and versatile color that can be used to create a variety of jewelry styles. The specific shade of blue (royal, navy, turquoise, etc.) can affect the overall feel of your creation.
Length:
- Approximately 500 meters (546 yards) per spool: This is a very generous length, providing enough thread for many beading projects.
Uses:
- Jewelry Making: This thread is suitable for stringing beads to create necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and anklets. The blue color offers versatility depending on the chosen shade. It can create a calming and elegant look with navy tones, a bright and summery feel with turquoise, or a regal air with royal blue. It’s best suited for lightweight to medium-weight beads due to the 2-ply construction.
- Other Crafting Applications: You can also use this blue thread for other crafting projects like embroidery, tassel making, or wrapping decorative items where a blue color and slight sheen are desired.
