Silk - it is just the ticket for beadstringing. It is strong and knots beautifully. This is a high-quality silk made in Germany. It has number sizes; however, I have converted them to Gudebrod sizes. Size #6 (F) is good for gemstones, Size #5 (E) is good with most pearls and smaller-holed beads. Silk thread is also used for other arts, such as fly-tying.
Length:
Size #6 (F) - 65 Meters/213 Feet
Size #5 (E) 80 Meters/262 Feet
German silk is slightly different in texture than the Japanese silk. It has more of a twist, and as a result it works great for "tin-cup" style necklaces or anything where you want the silk to be visible. Doesn't unravel.

REGARDING PACKAGING: Whenever possible, I use recycled materials for packaging. You may get your items in an box that once held packets of instant oatmeal! I like to reuse these boxes because they are lightweight and sturdy, and they are getting another life before heading to a landfill. I also reuse bubble envelopes and the like, and print receipts on the back of scrap paper. With me, everything gets a second life, so that I can continue to keep my prices low.
My return policy is: If it's good enough for me to send to you, it's good enough for me to take back.
