If I am making a necklace with silk thread, do I make a knot at the end using a tube crimp and then crimp the tube or just leave it?
- Millie
Crimps are not recommended for use with silk as the metal will wear through the thread over time. The knot will secure your design.
If you'd like to add a finding to hide the knot, choose a bead tip that fits the style of your overall design or cover the knot with a crimp cover.
