Nymo Tan Cream nylon thread
Nymo thread is a non-plied, lightly bonded nylon thread originally developed for the upholstery industry. Nymo is excellent for beadwork, especially beadweaving, bead embroidery, bead fringes, and bead looming. It comes in several sizes from the largest, F, to the smallest, 00. It is packaged on bobbins, spools (aka large bobbins), and cones; yardage depends on size of thread (see table below). The most common sizes for beadwork are D and B. Nymo D is the larger of the two and works well with 11/0 seed beads and Delicas when the number of passes through the bead is not excessive. For smaller beads, size 13/0,15/0 and work in 11/0's and Delicas involving many passes, Nymo B is the better choice. For work with vintage seedbeads - sizes 16/0 and smaller, 0 or 00 is available. Always condition Nymo beading thread with beeswax or a microcrystalline wax and stretch the strand before starting to stitch, as it can stretch a bit over time.
