Find the right thread and cord for your beadwork, jewelry making, leatherwork, sewing, and traditional craft projects. Crazy Crow Trading Post offers a wide selection of Nymo nylon beading thread, cotton sewing thread, waxed and unwaxed linen thread, French linen thread, hemp cord, heavy-duty sewing thread, and beeswax. Whether you're creating intricate seed bead designs, stringing necklaces, sewing moccasins, making leather bags, or working on historical reenactment projects, choosing the right material, thickness, and strength makes a difference in your finished work.
Choose from fine Nymo nylon thread for seed beadwork, gourd (peyote) stitch, applique, earrings, and bead loom weft threads, or cotton thread for sewing and loomwork applications where reduced stretching is desirable. Bonded synthetic beading thread offers another option for projects requiring strength and resistance to fraying. Available in a variety of sizes and package quantities to suit different projects.
Our natural fiber selection includes waxed and unwaxed linen threads and cords, fine French linen thread, and hemp cord in different weights. These materials are popular for leather stitching, traditional hand sewing, jewelry stringing, decorative knotting, and a variety of Native American-style crafts and historical reenactment projects. Heavy-duty threads and replacement sewing-awl thread are also available for sturdier sewing applications.
Beeswax is a useful accessory for many hand-sewing and beadwork projects. Waxing suitable threads can help reduce tangling, improve handling, and limit fraying. Select thread or cord according to your project's requirements, including strength, flexibility, stretch, and the size of the beads or materials being sewn.
Needle sizes are like bead sizes; the larger the number the smaller the size. A #10 needle can be used with 10/0 beads, a #11 with 11/0, and so on. The #12 Sharps and #15 Beading needles are the smallest sizes available so they are best for 14/0 to 16/0 beads. However, some beads may have holes that are too small even for these needles.
