"Soft Flex "fine" wire is currently my most-used stringing material. I use it for stringing necklaces and bracelets. It is thin enough to fit through smaller beads and to easily finish the ends of a strand with crimps. At the same time it is strong for projects with larger beads. 100 ft spools are also more cost effective than 30 ft or 10ft spools, so I like having the option to purchase this length, especially for a multi-strand project."

"I use this wire to make my jewelry. Everything on this necklace I bought from artbeads.com. Would recommend for it's strength. Plus this is a great price other bead stores don't come close to this price."

excellent stringing material
Date:August 14, 2009
Other beading styles or techniques: stringing - my own personal designs
Creation: necklaces, bracelets
"I have been using this wire for some time and find it not just excellent value for money, but also durable, and easy to work with. My one dis-satisfaction has been the tendency of the stringing material to stretch over time - not a major problem, as I can "fill the gap" with a crimp cover at either end of the item of jewelry. I am happy to continue re-ordering this beading wire."

"I
have been very satisfied with the strength and flexibility of this wire
for my 4mm swarovski crystal bracelets however after reading some reviews
wonder if the heavier gauge would be longer lasting? Rather learn now in the early stages of beading if I need to change to heavier gauge. Also has anyone
had any trouble with the wire "stretching"?

Best stringing wire around

"After trying several stringing materials I find this the easiest to work with and there is no waste as it does not kink or knot."
