C-Lon® bead cord is one of our own products. There are 86-yards per bobbin; the breaking strength is 34lbs. This is a strong nylon thread which can be used for bead stringing, micro-macramé, and bead crochet with size 8/0 or larger seed beads. As of Fall 2007 we have 64 colors in stock. This year we also introduced a new Micro-cord also for micro-macrame, crochet with 11/0s & 15/0s, and stringing with small beads and pearls.

Usage note: the bead cord comes off the bobbin with some curl to it. The fix is easy: as you're unwinding it, give it a good pull an arm's length at a time and voila! no more curl.

There are some stunning examples of micro-macramé on these artists' websites:
