Choose a Miyuki thread in the color that matches your beads
The color of your thread can make a huge difference in your jewelry designs. It’s a good idea to use Miyuki thread in the same color as your beads. On the other hand, you can also create stunning designs by choosing a thread that contrasts with the colors of your bead. Finally, as the thread becomes a part of your jewelry designs, it’s just a matter of taste!
One good thing about Miyuki nylon beading thread is that it comes in a wide range of lovely colors to match your seed beads.
