Dura-line is made from highly durable polyethylene braided thread, one of the strongest fibers there is for this type of product. You can be confident that your designs will be secure whether you pass through a tiny hole once or several times for more complex patterns. It is pre-coated giving it a strong resistance to fraying. Reviews of the thread include great comments about the threads flexibility and ability to hold a knot. ________________________________________________________________________________________ New Feathers, Trims and Embellishments The 2020 collection for carnival, dance and costume designers is now arriving at John Bead.
