The new C-Lon® Fine Weight Bead Cord Tex 135 was added to the C-Lon Cord family in 2010. As its siblings, the C-Lon Bead Cord (standard weight), the C-Lon Micro Cord (extra fine weight) and the C-Lon Tex 400 Bead Cord (heavy weight), it is a bonded 3 ply twisted multi-filament thread Tex 135 with diameter of 0.4mm and a 24 lb breaking strength.

Designed for micro macrame, stringing beads and other techniques such as bead crochet, finger weaving, kumihimo, tatting as well as many other uses where a strong bonded nylon is required including industrial stitching. It is an especially good size for fine beads, for crochet ropes and kumihimo with seed beads size 8/0 and smaller.

C-Lon Fine Weight Bead Cord Tex 135 was originally produced in 136 yd spools. The production was shifted to 50 yard spools, allowing more colors to be made in this size with 16 colors added in 2017-2018, and 1 in 2022. Some of the colors are only available in the larger original 136 yd spools, others are available in both spool sizes, and many including the 17 newest colors are only available in the newer 50 yd spools.

As of 2023 the factory manufacturing C-Lon Fine Weight Cord will only produce 30 colors in the 136 yd spool size. 30 colors will no longer be made when they go out of stock. They are discontinued and marked with Disc. 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 will be marked with Disc+Low. Currently none of the discontinued colors are low in stock. AB Antique Brown, the only color currently out of stock, is not discontinued and is on order from the factory.

Notes - A welcome addition to the C-Lon line. It is a great size to work with when the standard size of C-Lon Bead Cord is too thick and the thinnest size C-Lon Micro Cord is too thin. Colors match C-Lon Bead Cord, C-Lon Micro Tex 70 and C-Lon Tex 400 Bead Cord, so it's great for projects requiring different size cords in the same color.
