New Product Debut! WildFire Ultra - Ultra Fine Diameter Bead Weaving Thread

 

At long last, super thin, super strong, and perfect for intricate beadweaving, WildFire Ultra is here! Wildfire Ultra is a .004 diameter - thin enough for multiple passes through Delicas and small seed beads. It's available in Black and Clear and in 20 yard, 50 yard, and 125 yard spool lengths.

It is smooth, supple, and threadlike, does not stretch, and is very strong and abrasion resistant. The best way to cut it is with really sharp, dedicated scissors. The Beadalon Designer Scissors are my first choice. Be sure to bring the thread all the way to the back of the scissors - cutting with the tips won't work.

I recommend conditioning with either Beeswax or another thread conditioner of your choice.

My favorite needles to use are the Fine Big Eye Needle, the Extra Fine Collapsible Eye Needle, and the WildFire Needle. If you're using the WildFire Needle or another hard needle, flatten the end with chain nose pliers, and needle the thread by pinching the end between your thumb and index finger.

When you get to the end of your design, two ways to cut WildFire Ultra are with super sharp scissors, or the WildFire Cord Cutter. 

Check out the Facebook Live Replay to learn more about WildFire Ultra and how to bezel a Rivoli with seed beads. I hope you like it as much as I do! Let me know in the Jewelry Making With Beadalon Facebook Group, and be sure to join me on Thursdays at 2pm ET for the Beadalon Facebook Live.

Until then, Happy Beading!
