French wire / bouillon wire is a very fine spiral wire which, because it is wrapped around your beading wire, prevents wear of your beading wire. By covering the ends of your basting wire with bouillon wire you not only protect the wire against friction and breakage, but it also gives your jewelry an extra elegant finish.
