Material:
- Parachute Rayon or Para Silk: This is not technically true silk, but rather a type of rayon with a similar sheen and softness. It’s a popular and affordable choice for beading and jewelry making.
Color:
- White: This is a versatile color that works well with a variety of bead colors and styles.
Length:
- Approximately 500 meters (546 yards) per spool: This is a very generous length, providing enough thread for many beading projects.
Ply:
- 3-Ply: This thread is made by twisting three strands of rayon together. Compared to a 2-ply thread, a 3-ply thread will be:
- Thicker: The additional ply adds thickness and strength to the thread.
- More durable: The extra ply can better resist fraying or breaking.
- Slightly less flexible: The additional twist might make it a touch less flexible than a 2-ply thread, but it should still be comfortable to work with.
Uses:
- Jewelry Making: This thread is ideal for stringing beads to create necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and anklets. The increased thickness and strength make it suitable for a wider range of beads, including some heavier beads that might not be ideal for a 2-ply thread.
- Other Crafting Applications: You can also use this thread for other crafting projects like embroidery, tassel making, or wrapping decorative items where a slightly thicker and stronger thread is desired.
