Naturseide (German for ""Natural Silk"") is the traditional stringing material used by beaders for centuries. You can't knot pearls without silk and nothing hangs like silk cord. The thread comes with an attached needle that allows you to pass the cord through pearls, beads and stones without having to double the cord over. This is a thinner silk cord, ideal for passing through smaller pearls and for making sure that the knots between your pearls are not too bulky. Quantity: Each lot consists of 1 package of size 2 White bead cord, about 2 meters in length, plus attached needle. If you're thrifty like us, you'll detach the needle when the cord is gone and use it again later!.
