Stringer

A thin, separately pulled thread of glass. Unlike the shapes above, a stringer usually isn't sliced into murrini cross-sections: it's trailed or wound directly onto a piece for fine linework, though it can also ride along inside a bundled cane as a thin accent.

How it's made

1. Gather a small amount of glass on a punty.
2. Reheat and pull it into a long, thin, even thread while still soft.
3. Use it by trailing it onto hot glass, or bundle it with other canes before pulling further.
