Silamide is a two-ply twisted fiber thread, originally developed for the upholstry industry. The twist gives it exceptional "bounce back" when used on projects that require tension.
The twist also makes it a little more "pierce resistant" than Nymo or C-lon, making it the thread we choose for all our beginning beadweaving classes. The counter effect of the twist is that it is a little more difficult to thread into the needle.
