    can get, being metal... others you might want to try: RioGrande
    Gems&Findings p.399 

          "DandyLine is excellent for bead weaving and stringing glass
          beads. It is abrasion resistant, 100% water resistant and will
          not stretch; a higher quality stringing product than silk!
          Please note: Due to the nature of the material, the black cord
          appears dark grey in color."

          "Tough Thread: Better quality than the finest beading thread
          and stronger than wire, Tough Thread will not stretch and is
          water, UV, and fray resistant. Even though it is soft and very
          flexible, Tough Thread will not kink, making it the best option
          for your highly detailed bead work and for weaving. Fits #10
