Default Seed beads, thread

I'm working on a bracelet; base is 11/0 seed beads in peyote, and will be
embellished with 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads, pearls & glass beads. I'm using
6lb fireline for the base, but think it will make the embellishments too
stiff if I use that with the 15/0 seed beads; I want the embellishments to
stand up but be slightly flexible / wavy. Any suggestions for thread / line
for the embellishments?

I always use Nymo D... b/c you can go through the beads several times to
tighten things up and also can add more stuff later if you decide it needs
something.
