Collection: Spiral stitch

We consider the spiral stitch one of life’s great pleasures, and we must not be alone because it’s tremendously popular and has no less than six variations. This simple and addictive stitch creates beaded ropes with a lovely drape and feel by working loops of beads around a central beaded “spine.”  What’s the difference between a rope and a tube?  Spiral stitch ropes are solid and yet more fluid, whereas tubes are hollow and typically a bit stiffer.
