Griffin amber silk bead cord on cards delivers a warm, traditional stringing material for knotted bead jewelry. The rich amber tone complements warm gemstones, glass, and organic beads, while the 100% silk construction provides the smooth, controlled feel experienced beaders rely on for consistent hand-tied knots. Each card includes approximately 2 m (6.5 ft) of cord with a pre-attached twisted stainless steel needle, so you can go from card to bead tray without any additional setup. Eight diameters from 0.45 mm to 1.20 mm let you match the cord precisely to your bead hole size and design scale. Manufactured in Germany by Griffin, a long-established name in professional bead stringing supplies.
