Spiral weave is a versatile stitch used for creating long bands of beading, often as the foundation for an embellished necklace or rope. The weave itself is quite simple to do, and you can add interest and glamour by using multiple sizes, colors, and textures in the beads of the spiral. And then you can embellish either the core beads or the outer beads, with limitless possibilities.
