Bead Stringing Wire

  • Soft Flex Wire: Our original micro wire technology for a flexible, sturdy shape in your jewelry design. Soft Flex® Wire is constructed of either 21 or 49 micro woven, stainless steel wires, braided together and then nylon coated. This micro-wire technology gives you the most flexible and knottable stainless steel in the world. It is hypoallergenic, and since Soft Flex® Wire is marine quality, it can be worn in and out of salt and fresh water.
  • Soft Touch Wire: The World's first Stainless Steel Beading Thread! Designed for Sewing, Crocheting and Knitting. Redefine flexibility with Soft Touch, our premium wire. Same performance as Soft Flex Wire with more supple flexibility and it’s easier to tie.
  • Extreme 925 Flex Wire: An Extreme Way to Shine! Expose yourself and your designs to Sterling Silver Extreme 925™ Flex Wire. Sterling Silver Extreme 925™ Flex Wire is sterling silver over steel with a premium, nylon coating. This bright and attractive wire will not tarnish and is meant to be shown! Soft Flex® Company has new cutting edge technology that has allowed us to manufacture a 1x19 strand wire line that is just as strong as our original 21 or 49 strand.
  • Metallics Flex Wire: Re-ignite your creative fire and turn that attic treasure into a professional piece of jewelry. Soft Flex® Company is proud to announce our newest wire: Metallics. It’s a new way to shine! Don’t trust that family heirloom on anything but the best. Soft Flex® Metallics is constructed of either 21 or 49 micro woven stainless steel wires and is available in 3 diameters: .014, .019, and .024. It is supple enough that it can be knotted. Metallics comes in Copper and Antique Brass Colors, colors designed to enhance and make your beads shine. Try a new project or turn an old skeleton key into a wonderful focal bead. Metallics lets the technology of today reinvigorate the findings of yesterday!

Wire Working Wire

  • Artistic Wire: Artistic Wire is the highest quality, permanently colored copper wire available from the wire industry to date. Perfect for wire design and wrapping, scrapbooks, paper crafts, jewelry, home accents, sculpture and more!
  • German Wire: This high quality German Plated Wire can be used for jewelry designing, wire wrapping and endless craft projects.

Memory Wire

  • Memory Wire: Memory Wire is the quick and easy way to make beaded bracelets and necklaces. It is a hard steel wire that gets its name from its ability to retain its shape as you make your design.

Threads

  • Power Pro: Power Pro is a braided thread that is excellent for many different types of weaving-peyote stitch, brick stitch, right angle weave, loom work, etc. It doesn't shred or stretch like a lot of other weaving products on the market.
  • Fire Line: Fire Line Crystal Line was created to withstand the heavy abuse of fishing. Fishermen rely on Fire line for its strength and near invisibility. If your next piece needs a thread that won’t distract appreciative eyes, try Crystal Line.
Cords

  • Stretch Magic: Stretch Magic is a super strong, solid, elastic cord.
  • Illusion Cord: Clear monofilament cord used for illusion necklaces.
  • Leather: Leather is a great choice for quality stringing. It is excellent for large beads or pendants.
  • Pleather Cord: Just like leather...only better. Pleather is manufactured from specially blended polymers to look and fell just like fine Grecian leather. However, unlike leather, pleather will not crack, weather or smell.
