Question about finished pieces

If it were me, I'd re-string it on 30-50 lb. test Spiderwire Fusion (cheaper than PowerPro, but made of similarly strong stuff). That's going to be closest to things like SoftFlex or Beadalon in break-resistence. And it will cost dramatically less somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 for 150 yards, if memory serves.

If I had to knot it, I'd glue the knots. If I crimped it, I'd test carefully to make sure the crimps 'took' well before trusting it to the marketplace.

I've sold seed beads on doubled D thread. But that was much lighter than this piece. The cost for a "spool" of good stringing material might be $5 to $25 but that's not much compared to beads, and will do a bunch of necklaces. Also not much compared to good findings

And, I have a few! My b'day necklace (last year's) features one of her "Red Hat's", in the center of a double stranded "woolie worm" necklace.... My mom got a pink Easter bonnet necklace a couple of years ago.... Kaytee "Simplexities" on

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "Marissa Undercofler" :

]8lb test monofilament

uhm - generally not recommended - - monofilament deteriorates in sunlight and/or water. it's designed that way.

What kind of thread and how heavy are the beads?

If it's Nymo and has any weight to it, I'd say, no.

I do re-stringing on strands of monofiliment all the time - it dries out and breaks.I use softflex and am very pleased with it. Patti
