TIGER TAIL CRAFT QUALITY Tigertail is a nylon-coated wire.  Attractive Acculon Tigertail is limp enough to hang naturally. This wire may kink, which is only a problem when using seed beads.   Other beads are heavy enough to straighten any kinks when the piece is finished off.   There is less breakage with tigertail than mono, thread or leather, but more than soft flex.   It does not stretch.  It's stiff enough that it's its own "needle"  -- no additional beading needle required.  Just terminate by tying a double-knot, or using a crimp bead.  Available in 30' and 100' spools.   We have clear (silvery) color available.   Currently not available is black. Tigertail comes in different thicknesses.  We recommend: .012 or .015 for liquid silver and glass seed beads .018 for bracelets .015 or .018 for necklaces Click to order TIGER TAIL Illusion Cord Monofilament A new .010 diameter ,nylon, monofilament cord, with unbelievable strength.
