    Introduction

    In this exciting episode of Better Beader by Potomac Beads, we explore the new DragonThread colors and sizes that are sure to elevate your beading projects. DragonThread is a fantastic beading thread known for its strength, durability, and vibrant colors. Join us as we dive into the world of DragonThread and discover how you can incorporate these new options into your beading designs.

    New DragonThread Colors and Sizes

    Potomac Beads is thrilled to introduce four new colors to the DragonThread family:

    • Coral
    • Light Coral
    • Mint Green
    • Steel Blue

    These gorgeous colors are perfect for adding a pop of vibrancy to your beaded creations. Whether you're working on a summer-inspired bracelet or a statement necklace, these new DragonThread colors will help bring your vision to life.

    In addition to the new colors, DragonThread is now available in two different sizes:

    • Size 0.006" (0.15mm)
    • Size 0.008" (0.20mm)

    The 0.006" size is ideal for delicate beadwork and creating intricate designs, while the 0.008" size offers added strength and durability for larger beads and more substantial projects.

    Tips for Working with DragonThread

    When working with DragonThread, keep these tips in mind:

    • Use a thread burner or sharp scissors to cut the thread cleanly, preventing fraying.
    • Condition your thread with beeswax or thread conditioner to reduce tangling and improve thread management.
    • Choose the appropriate thread size for your beads to ensure a comfortable fit and smooth threading.
    • Double or triple your thread for added strength, especially when working with heavier beads or creating high-stress designs.

    Design Ideas and Inspiration

    The new DragonThread colors and sizes open up a world of possibilities for your beading projects. Here are a few design ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

    • Create a colorful summer bracelet using the Coral and Mint Green DragonThread, paired with vibrant glass beads and a silver clasp.
    • Design a delicate anklet using the 0.006" DragonThread in Steel Blue, showcasing tiny seed beads and a dainty charm.
    • Stitch a bold statement necklace using the 0.008" DragonThread in Light Coral, featuring chunky gemstone beads and a gold pendant.

    Feel free to mix and match colors, experiment with different bead combinations, and let your creativity shine through!

    I find it difficult to navigate the pages. When I am looking for something specific, there is not a place for me to simply type in what I am looking for.

    I've been a professional beader for around 25 years. Your website and tutorials are simply the best. Well done! Don't change. Not happy with purchase of 3mm round crystal AB nor the 14mm and 18mm rivolis. Poor quality crystals. Dull.
