🔹 FireLine Braided Beading Thread – 4 lb (Smoke & Crystal)

FireLine 4 lb is the go-to choice for fine beadwork where strength is needed without added bulk. This braided beading thread is extremely abrasion-resistant, holds tension well, and passes cleanly through small bead holes — making it ideal for detailed projects.

Best for

• Seed beads (11/0, 15/0)

• Delicas & cylinder beads

• Peyote, brick stitch, loom work

• Multiple thread passes through small holes

Why choose 4 lb FireLine

• Thin diameter with high tensile strength

• Excellent knot security

• Minimal fraying during repetitive passes

• Maintains structure without stiffness

Available options

Pound test (lb) refers to the maximum tensile strength of the thread — in simple terms, how much force the thread can withstand before breaking.

FireLine is rated by breaking strength, not thickness alone.

In plain language:

• 4 lb = breaks at ~4 pounds of force

• 6 lb = breaks at ~6 pounds of force

• 8 lb = breaks at ~8 pounds of force

As pound test increases:

• The thread becomes stronger

• The diameter becomes slightly thicker

• It handles heavier beads and higher tension better

💡 Important: Higher pound test does not mean “better” for every project.
The best choice depends on bead hole size, bead weight, and stitch type.

FireLine is manufactured by Berkley, but is widely trusted in professional beadwork for its exceptional strength-to-diameter ratio.
