WildFire is made with a new synthetic material called Spectra and it has a smooth thermally bonded coating > More info on Spectra. It does not fray and has nearly no stretch. It's round, smooth, has the appearance of a monocord. It flattens a bit when pushed, can be knotted, and is not easily pierced by a needle. It is waterproof, colorfast and fusible, so it can be melted with a thread burner.
