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:
- Black: This is a classic and versatile color that can make your beaded creations stand out. It pairs well with a wide range of bead colors and styles, allowing you to create bold or elegant designs.
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. It works well with various bead colors and materials, but its strength is best suited for lightweight to medium-weight beads.
- Other Crafting Applications: You can also use this black thread for other crafting projects like embroidery, tassel making, or wrapping decorative items where a black color and slight sheen are desired.
