I am having trouble finding the proper stringing material for small hesihi beads. They are 2-3mm in size. Although small, the hole is not. The problem is the lack of weight of heishi and therefore when strung, does not drape properly. It usually coils somewhat. Any suggestions?

are Beadalon wires but a tendency to kink slightly. Tiger tail does kink worse and I would not use it. HTH Shirley
