This stuff is great! I was introduced to it in a beading class where we learned peyote stitch. The thread cuts easily with scissors and will fray if too long a strand is used in the beading process (off-loom beading, not stringing) but does it ever make a strong bracelet.

QUOTE: This thread is very strong and you can cut yourself with it if you try to break it by hand.
Am I the only one who finds that a little scary?

It would be very important to use a safe clasp - such as a magnetic one - which comes apart fairly easily, if using this thread for stringing beads (even for adults). Thread this thin could garrotte you!

At first I read this as meaning beaded things for toddlers, not adult jewelry that a toddler might pull on.
Obviously a toddler should not have beaded jewelry, particularly on unbreakable (strangle-hazard) thread.
