    If the beads have small holes use Softflex. Softflex can be knotted
    between beads but it really isn't necessary unless you are trying to
    prevent the beads from rubbing together. 

    If the beads have large holes you can use foxtail but you won't be
    able to knot it. 

    Both products are available at any supply house specializing in
    supplies for Native American jewelry.
