Beading

  • Double Thread : Thread your needle before coating your thread with Thread Heaven®. Give the needle a couple of twists, then coat both threads at once. This will help keep Thread Heaven's natural static charge from forcing the threads apart.
  • Ripping Out : Nymo and silk beading threads are particularly subject to fraying after they have been ripped out. Re-coat this section of thread before you continue with your project to help re-bind the fibers.
  • Pre-waxed Thread : Although pre-waxed threads, like Silamide, don't tangle or fray as much as standard beading thread, it is still important to coat them with Thread Heaven® to increase the life of your project, reduce drag, and to reduce hand and wrist fatigue.
  • When knitting or crocheting with pre-strung beads, coat the pearl cotton with Thread Heaven® before string the beads and they will move back and forth along the length much easier.
