Elastic lycra with a diameter of 0.3 mm, in a 5 m length, is thinner and stretchier than the popular elastomer. Lycra is made of multiple strands of elastic thread. Thanks to its small diameter, it is great for making bracelets from mini faceted minerals with little stretch, and it also allows multiple threadings through the hole even with small seed beads. However, we do not recommend using it with wooden beads, as the rougher surface of wooden beads could damage the individual lycra strands.
