Nymo Spool Size F 3oz Options available: 1049 yds/Spool & 49 yds/Bobbin White Tex 30 Nymo is one of the most popular nylon beading threads for seed beads. It can be used for loom weaving, off-loom bead stitching, and bead embroidery. Nymo thread is strong and easy to use. It works better if you condition it first. The thread on Nymo spools and cones is higher quality and easier to use than the thread on bobbins. We highly recommend bobbins to sample the thread and find your favorite colors, but once you find them, you will probably prefer the thread sold on spools or cones, since it is easier to thread and stitch and of higher quality overall. Nymo was originally developed for and used in the upholstery industry. It is a nylon monochord, which means it is a single bonded strand, not several twisted together. This is helpful in beadwork, especially when you have to remove stitches - it won't untwist and separate. Nymo thread is strong and supple, but it can fray when it is overworked. Nymo is used with glass seed beads for off-loom bead weaving and bead embroidery or as a weft thread in loom beading. It is especially good for making jewellery with tassels and fringe that are strong but with supple movement. Its flexibility means that it can pass through beads multiple times. We also like to use Nymo for bead embroidery.
