The Beadsmith Nymo Nylon Beading Thread Assortment — White Sizes 00/0/B/D, Lightly Waxed & Strong

The Beadsmith Nymo Thread is a lightly waxed nylon beading thread offered in a white assortment of sizes 00, 0, B and D for durable, flexible beadwork.

If you make bead weaving, embroidery, or fringe, the right thread changes how your pieces hold shape and move. This Nymo pack from The Beadsmith includes four commonly used diameters so you can match thread thickness to bead hole sizes and project weight. The nylon construction is soft yet strong, with a slight wax and gentle twist to reduce fraying and ease stitching.

Which thread sizes are included and what are their measurements?

The assortment contains sizes 00, 0, B and D to cover a wide range of beading needs. Each size has a different diameter and yardage so you can plan for small seed beads up to heavier fringe or corded elements.

• 00 — 0.12 mm diameter, 140 yards
• 0 — 0.15 mm diameter, 115 yards
• B — 0.20 mm diameter, 144 yards
• D — 0.35 mm diameter, 144 yards

How does Nymo thread perform for off-loom and loom techniques?

Nymo is designed to handle common off-loom stitches like peyote, brick and right-angle weave while also serving well as a weft on looms. The thread’s slight wax and soft twist help it pass smoothly through bead holes and hold tension without becoming overly stiff.

• Off-loom: stable knotting and clean stitch definition
• Loom: suitable as a weft thread for steady even rows
• Fringe/tassels: larger sizes provide durable support

Do I need to condition Nymo, and what benefits does waxing give?

Conditioning with a light coat of wax or a thread conditioner can improve handling and reduce tangling. Waxing also increases grip between thread and beads, helping stitches stay tight and making finishing knots more secure.

• Reduces fraying for repeated needle passes
• Helps maintain even tension during long projects
• Makes knotting neater and less likely to slip

What kinds of projects work best with each size?

Select smaller diameters for ultra-fine seed bead work and larger diameters for structural elements or heavy bead mixes. Mixing sizes within one piece can balance strength and discretion where needed.

• 00 — delicate seed bead weaving and layered detail
• 0 — general seed bead projects and bead embroidery outlines
• B — heavier seed beads, small pearls, and medium fringe
• D — thick fringe, corded elements, and structural joins
