7-Strand Stringing Wire, .012, .015, .018" in 7 Finishes

The #1 bead stringing wire. Beadalon wire is composed of tiny stainless steel wires twisted together and nylon coated. The number of wires, also known as strands, determines the flexibility. 49 strand wire is very supple and will drape elegantly, giving your designs a thread-like appearance. 7 strand wire is not as flexible, but will hold its shape better and is well suited to the heaviest beads and components. 19 Strand falls somewhere in between.

Choose the thickness of the wire according to your materials. .015"/.38mm and .018"/.46mm are the most versatile sizes. Good for medium to heavy gemstones, crystals, seed beads, glass and metal beads.
