Flexible beading wire Flexible beading wire is composed of wires twisted together and coated with nylon. This wire is stronger than thread and does not stretch. The higher the strand count (3-49 strands), the more flexible and kinkresistant the wire. Use:
.010 or .012 to string lightweight beads or beads with small holes, such as pearls. .014 or .015 with most gemstones, crystals, and glass beads. .018, .019, and .024 for heavier beads and nuggets.
