Beadsmith Superlon bead cord is an incredibly versatile

Here at The Bead Shop, we have recently expanded our range of Superlon colours so if you are looking for a bright, a neutral or and pastel colour, we’re bound to have it.

Beadsmith Superlon bead cord is an incredibly versatile and durable cord that can be used for projects such as, Kumihimo, braiding, bead crochet, and micro macramé jewellery. The best thing about this cord is that it comes in so many colours!

One technique that Superlon bead cord can be used for is Kumihimo. This technique is all the rage right now and is really easy to learn. You can mix the colours together to create lovely, brightly coloured braids and can add beads and crystals to the cord for a different effect.

Check out our Kumihimo section on the website for inspiration. We’ve got loads of clasps, fastenings, cords and equipment to get you started.

Another technique to master is Micro Macramé. The micro refers to the thinner cord used but is the same technique used for decades to create jewellery, ornaments and garments. An example of a more recent, popular way to use Macramé is Shamballa Style Bracelets. ‘Shamballa’ referring to the type to braid rather than the sparkly beads often used, you can in fact use any beads to make these.
