There is silk, nylon, wire, thin about 36-30 guage, They come in different colors. Then there is the wire that has 7 strands in it, I wouldn't suguest wire with less strands, unless there is a new kind out there I don't know about. You can get them cheaper when the wire is harder and stiffer, the softer and looser hanging the wire is with the beads on them are more expensive, but worth it. They come in different colors too. You use crimp beads to end the strand with this wire.

floss thread by: Anonymous
I use a simple floss thread. It is most commonly used for needlepoint, scrapbooking, or friendship bracelets. The bracelets, necklaces, anklets, and more thatt you can make with just very inexpencie thread are incredible.
The switch knot is a decorative lacy macrame/ hemp jewelry knot that helps you save on twine too. This tutorial shows you how to tie one with clear pictures and instructions.
A sliding knot is a wonderfully easy way to end off a leather, string, hemp, or corded necklace or bracelet. It looks neat and stylish, is a very practical closure, and is very easy to make.
