Those would be some spoiled fish Melinda if you were to use this lovely wire for fishing! LOL You can use fishing line for beading if you like. This is just a lot prettier if the wire is to show. Plus it has such a wonderful drape to it!

Thank you everyone for your great comments! I really appreciate you all.

Catalina, you can get the specs on all the different wires that SoftFlex carries by clicking their link in the post above.

Thank you Sara for posting about this post on your your blog! That was really sweet of you. I'm glad you liked the review of the Trios. You are the SoftFlex Girl, so that means a lot coming from you!

Is it bad that I use fishing line???? … and all my craft boxes are actually tackle boxes?

Gotta admit though… that line is pretty… I wonder if the fish will like it? *wink*

I'll have to try it out!

I love SoftFlex wire as a general rule. You just can't beat it,IMHO.

I haven't heard of these. How thick or what is the diameter? I love the colors and I'm sure they would make nice bails, too. Can't wait to see what ya come up with.

Dog Gone it, Cindy! I may have to quit coming to the site! I need to go out and buy something every time you recommend it! I've fought the temptation to buy the pretty wires for a while but now I feel the pull…must …go… buy… :)

Thank you for the lovely review. I linked to it from my blog that posts later this morning, as well as on our twitter account. I'm so glad that you enjoyed our wire. I look forward to seeing what you create! :)

Nice!

I normally use SoftTouch (the medium, .019 diameter, 49 strand version), which is made by the SoftFlex Company. It's really really flexible (more so than ordinary SoftFlex), kink-proof, stretch-proof, and really really strong (I also work with heavy beads). However, it doesn't exactly come in many colours: think grey, grey or grey (although the very fine version also comes in black and white).

I haven't used coloured beading wire in the past because the products I knew about didn't pass my (relatively extreme) stress tests. This is the first I've heard of these SoftFlex Trios, and from my past experience with this company's products I think I'll give them a go!
