Why Choose S-Lon Fire?

S-Lon Fire is made from gel-spun polyethylene (GSP) — the strongest fibre per diameter ever created. Braided and thermally fused for superior performance, it delivers a smooth, consistent finish that threads effortlessly through seed beads, two-hole beads, and fine jewellery components without fraying or stretching.

• ✔ Pre-waxed — ready to use straight from the spool, no additional waxing required
• ✔ Zero stretch — holds tension and shape beautifully over time
• ✔ Fray and abrasion resistant — built for intricate, multi-pass beadwork
• ✔ High tensile strength — 8LB rated for heavier beads and robust designs
• ✔ Crystal / Clear colour — virtually invisible thread ideal for transparent and light-coloured beads
• ✔ Compatible with beading needles — works with size 10, 12, and 13 needles
