    Joanna, when using silk for bead stringing and I know that the beads
    are going to stretch the fibers, I hang the thread that I will be
    using with a weight on the bottom of it prior to using it. 

    If using nymo (or something similar), I run the length of thread
    through a warm  curling iron to stretch  the thread.
