Hi Devora

    I use a strong nylon thread called Silamide to weave with. On the
    inner diameter of the briolette necklaces, I use .024 Beadalon.
    Where the glass beads look like they are woven into the work, they
    are actually inserted with a heavier headpin running through them (if
    I use thread, it will be broken by the heavier glass beads). 

Thanks
Kim
