Thread Construction: Unlike its siblings, the C-Lon Bead Cord and C-Lon Micro Cord, this thread has only one ply, with all the filaments side by side and only slightly twisted. This thread appears flat and ribbon-like, more like a floss. It is exceptionally strong for its size and highly abrasion-resistant. It is UV-resistant and vat-dyed; the color does not rub off. The vat-dyeing process involves high heat and pressure, forcing the dye completely through the thread and resulting in a permanent dye. This thread is lightly bonded, but not waxed. Adding a coat of Thread Magic and/or beeswax is recommended for most applications. Size AA is sometimes considered to be 0.9mm in diameter, but measuring a thread that can change its shape and flatten against bead holes is difficult. Go to C-Lon Bead Thread Size D for a slightly larger Tex 45 thread, approximately 1.1mm in diameter.

Production Outlook: As of 2023 C-Lon Bead Thread Size AA is no longer be manufactured in any colors other than White. Keep in mind that most of these colors have large inventory stored at the C-Lon warehouse or here at Marion Jewels in Fiber and will be available for a long time. Discontinued colors low in stock are marked withDisc/Low.
