The core of Hybraid is made of copper wire, surrounded by Spectra® braided fiber, and then encased in braided stainless steel wire. Hybraid combines the best characteristics of wire and cord in a single product, and was developed due to recent the increased demand for new stringing materials.

Already a top contender of the “Top 20 New Hot Products” at the CHA (Craft Hobby Association) Winter 2012 Show, Hybraid has received notoriety as a new medium for bead stringing. This unique product exhibits extra texture, body, energy, and it feels and behaves unlike any other beading material. It is has incredible strength, amazing abrasion resistance and is knottable, perfect for trendy macramé designs. Available in .018” diameter in 5 yard spools.

End the Fray! The Perfect End Thread Burner by Euro Tool is perfect for stopping frayed ends of thread on embellishments, peyote stitch, or anywhere raw ends need to be eliminated. Cuts and cauterizes! Fact is, the tip heats to a red hot at the touch of a button and melts synthetic threads so that they don’t unravel. Powered by one AA battery (included). This is the ultimate tool for bead stringers.
