The Beadsmith Fireline by Berkley, Micro-Fused Braided Thread

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Braided gel-spun polyethylene (Dyneema) that the listing says does not stretch or tangle
  • + 125 yards of 6lb test at .006 inch, which can be threaded on a beading needle per the listing
  • + Made in the USA, and ends can be cut with sharp scissors or sealed with a thread burner

Trade-offs

  • - Costs more per spool than nylon beading thread
  • - Smoke grey can show through clear or very pale beads, where a crystal color thread is the safer pick
