Tuff Cord & Silk Alike-

Two unique products that offer the best quality American made beading cord available.  Both are synthetic fibers that are stronger than their counterpart fibers (nylon and silk) because both are made of 3 strands of long fiber, not just two.  Neither Tuff Cord nor Silk Alike will stretch or stain, and both resist fraying and shredding.  Tuff Cord can be used without a needle!
