1.
Its High Strength
One of the biggest
benefits of using Griffin Silk Cord for your jewellery projects is its high
level of strength. Griffin Silk Thread is incredibly strong, despite being
wonderfully smooth. Even at its smallest diameters (0.2mm), this beading thread
is virtually unbreakable, and certainly cannot be broken by hand. That means
it’s ideal for knotting and stringing, even with large or heavy beads.
2.
It Has No Stretch
Another bonus of
using Griffin’s Silk Beading Thread is that it has no stretch whatsoever.
Again, this is ideal for knotting and for stringing heavy beads or other décor,
as the material will never stretch or distort.
3.
It’s Soft
Despite its high
strength and low stretch, Griffin natural silk is incredibly soft and supple.
It creates a wonderful drape following the contours of the body when used in
jewellery. This also makes it easy to work with.
4.
Plenty of Sizes Available
No matter what your jewellery or beading project, there is a
size option of Griffin silk cord to suit you. It’s
available in 10 difference sizes, from 0.2mm to 1.05mm, so perfect for projects
with smaller bead diameters to larger. There are also 21 different colour options
to choose from, so you are spoilt for choice with Griffin.
5.
Wide Range of Colours
Not only is there a wide range of
sizes with Griffin beading thread, but there is also a wide range of colour
options. Based on popular gemstone colours, there are rich colour choices to
suit any project. From amber to turquoise or olive, it’s easy to match the colour of
thread to your beads for cohesion in your beading project.
