Kreinik's bead-like thread just got better: Facets™ are now available in a wired version. Popular for replicating the look of beads on needlepoint, cross stitch, crazy quilting and art quilts — without having the mess of beads — this metallic thread adds a unique texture and interest to surface work. It can look whimsical and beady in certain designs, or resemble a Bullion, Frieze, or Jaceron real metal thread in more classical design themes. 

Plunge the end to the back of your work, or tack the end under on the front of your work. If the end ravels, use tape, a clear nail polish or an item like Fraycheck™ on the ends.
