C-lon Beading Thread
Our popular C-lon beading thread comes in 36 vibrant colors in sizes D and AA. We like to use the D for on and off-loom beadweaving. It’s especially good for Delica beads and other wide-holed Japanese seed beads.
The size AA beading thread is wonderful to use when working with 15/0 seed beads as well as 15/0 Delica beads.
Try using contrasting colors with your work – yellow with teal, teal with purple, orange with lime green. It can add some excitement to a simple beadwork project, as well as being strong, easy to work with and versatile.
