translucent braided bead cord is crystal clear and braided to be extremely durable. It is great for stringing rough stones, has a low stretch, and is easily knotted. The crystal clear color is perfect for crystal beads or when a clear cord is needed.
Illusion Cord
Illusion monofilament cord is a single-strand, very thin, clear nylon bead cord that is similar to fishing line. It is most often used for illusion or floating necklaces. Soft, yet durable, it is nearly invisible and virtually disappears next to the skin. Illusion cord is fine enough to thread through pearls and 11/0 seed beads. To hold beads in place, use knots, crimp beads, or G-S Hypo Cement.

Ultrasuede®
Ultrasuede® is the world's first ultra-microfiber made of 100% polyester. Ultrasuede® feels like natural suede, but it is resistant to stains and discoloration. It can even be washed in a washing machine! It is a woven fabric, but resists pulling or fraying because it is combined with a polyurethane foam in a non-woven structure. Ultrasuede® is great for stringing a simple necklace, making keychains, or lanyards.
Let's Bead! carries Ultrasuede® in 20 colors
Hemp Cord
Hemp Cord is terrific for creating macramé designs using any kind of beads. No needle is needed to string beads on hemp. Simple knots, braids, and weaving patterns are easy to learn and make interesting hemp jewelry designs. Hemp cord is a natural, biodegradable, and eco-friendly alternative to cotton and synthetic cord.
Let's Bead! carries Hemp in various colors
Waxed Linen Cord
Waxed Linen Cord works well with most beads, except seed and bugle beads. It knots and braids well, and is excellent for necklaces that have beads strung up to the clasp.
