Miyuki Delica Seed Beads 11/0 "Opaque Red Db791 7.2Gr($7.95Value)

Description

Miyuki Delica beads are known for their perfect tube shape and extreme uniformity. Their perfect tubular shape and large hole size to bead size ratio makes them ideal for consistent bead weaving texture and multiple passes of fine beading thread, such as Fireline, Power Pro, KO Thread and Nymo. The 11/0 size is the most popular bead size, recommended in bead magazines and beading books everywhere. There are approximately 175 to 200 beads in one gram of Delica Beads, depending on the color of the bead. There are approximately 17-22 Delica beads per linear inch.

MIYUKI Delica beads are cylindrical in shape and were created by MIYUKI CO. LTD. in 1982. They were originally created to replace antique French metal 3-cut steel beads, and now they've become the most popular bead in the world. Preferred by most bead artists, they are typically used for peyote, brick stitch, weaving, and looming projects which require lots of detail. Their cylindrical shape gives each finished piece a clean and unique surface along with an amazing amount of pizzazz. Imagine building a mosaic out of tiny, perfect rectangular tiles. Each tile is identical — same color, same shape — so when you place them side-by-side, the image or pattern is razor-sharp. That’s what 11/0 Delica's bring to beadwork: consistency, clarity, and the ability to create pixel-perfect bead art. If regular round beads are like rough stones, 11/0 Delica's are like tiny tiles used in a high-resolution mosaic: elegant, precise, and endlessly versatile. Here are some common examples of ways to use these beads:

• jewelry making
• bracelets making
• necklace making
• earring making
• dress decoration
• costume and fashion design
• bead weaving and embroidery
• combined with other styled seed beads
• stunning handmade gifts
• other crafts

With every MIYUKI Delica 11/0 and many 15/0 beads available (totaling more than 1100 colors, which include lots of finishes to choose from, and new colors created by Miyuki every year), artists around the world prefer Delica's over the typical Chinese or Czech beads for projects which require precision and a lot of detail.
