Q. Is bead stringing with knitted wire as easy as with other products? What
are functional limits of knitted wire, if any?
A. If you are using SilverSilk products for stringing you need to keep in mind the diameter of the product being used. Three Needle
Round has the smallest diameter at 1.5mm, so any bead with a 2mm hole can be strung on it. Capture, Pearlesque, Hollow and
Leather require beads with a 3.5mm to 4mm hole where Eight Needle Flat would accept a bead with a flat 5mm hole.
Bead stringing is just one technique you can use with SilverSilk knitted wire. You can also embellish it, braid it, loop it or knot it.
Thanks for sharing, Nina!
