Beadalon Fabric Elastic, 1.0 mm / .039 in, Black, 100 m / 328 ft

I've had this stuff for over a year and used it for countless projects and literally haven't even noticed that I have used any material. This stuff will literally last me forever and is excellent quality. Unbeatable value.

This stuff came in a good amount of time, and arrived spun around a plastic double plated spindle.I cut notches in the side of it so I could friction hang the cord when I store it so it does not come untangled.You get enough to last a lifetime, it is strong and upon pulling it I'm confident it won't break under normal use, it's applications are endless, I've used it to make a bead bracelet to count paces in darkness, hooked it through loops on a siper scope after drilling holes in the lens cap protectors to keep them from getting lost, I've made a safety catch for a neck knife, and tons of other applications, it can be stretched a good ways before tension is felt, and when cut fraying is minimal, I see no white colorings inside when cut so I'm assuming it's all one solid cord of colored elastic combined with some sort of fabric, it burns easy and to be sure no frays start I burn the ends, it take's a flame quick and after hardening a black residue is left, the black stuff must be wiped off it as it leaves a little bit of residue on what it touches after being burnt.Me being a Marine I use it for tasks beyond arts and crafts, like securing gear in edc pouches, securing knives to sheaths and all sorts of things, it's not as strong as pairacord obviously, but it's stretchy, thin and dependable for light applications that won't see heavy duty like organizing gear inside of bags for easy deployment, and creating in bag extendable lanyards for light gear for example.Any but the smallest beads should fit this; also, photon lights, kydex sheath holes, shoelace holes, you name it work with this well.In summery, it's stretchy, solid, fits most holes, de-frays with fire, and won't break on you within reason.Suitable for light duty tasks securing gear, and bushcraft of light nature.Pretty handy to keep some stowed in a pouch, and cheap enough to re-rig right in the field in the event of gear failure.5/5 easyThis stuff has a place in my pack now, and I will be back in the event I eliminate my current supply through use.

This is amazing! It is super durable and strong. Does not break no matter how hard I pull it. I purchased this for making kandi and it is fantastic. It is easy to tie and does not fray. I took others advice and held a lighter to it after knotting to make the perfect knot that will not detangle or fray. Also, other brands cost much more and give you much less. This thing will last me forever. But if I do run out I know I will be buying this again. I recommend it for anyone who wants to make kandi bracelets or for whatever other projects that require strong elastic. I wanted to get clear elastic but black was the only option for this price and quantity so I went for it. I am actually happy that i got black cuz it looks great with my colourful pony beads and especially in the dark with glow-in-the-dark beads.

Exactly what I wanted, but buyer beware the wrapped portion does fray the slightest bit making it very hard to thread some items, order one size smaller if beads etc are 1.0mm as this gets a bit bigger.

This is nice quality elastic for beading but it is very thick for 1 mm. There is a lot on the spool so I think it is going to last me a long time. A lot of my beads, etc. will not let this through so I am resorting to using pony beads for this elastic.

Very versatile elastic. I bought it for a wooden bead bracelet I had where the old elastic had broken. Craft stores only carry a small amount that doesn't last very long. I try to find any excuse to use this elastic and still I have a lot of it. You will want to burn the ends a little bit so they don't fray and look messy. I carry a small bobbin of this elastic in my emergency kit.

I have been making bracelets to sell for a charity, and have not been able to find more than 5 yards of elastic thread in a package. That is not economically sound for how much I was using. This was a great price, and great quality. I made what I needed and still have some left over. Would have liked it to come in white, but black met my purposes.

Great quality string. I was looking for a large roll of string, as I make a lot of craft bracelts. This works perfectly for the job. Very stretchy, good quality material.As others have also mentioned, the string does seem to be larger than 1mm, I would say closer to about 1.5mm
