- What is the difference between Delica 11/0 and regular seed beads?
- Delicas are cylinder-shaped rather than round, so they stack in straight rows. That makes them better for flat bead weaving and peyote stitch than ordinary round seed beads.
- How many beads are in 10 grams?
- MIYUKI lists about 2000 pieces per 10 grams. Because beads are sold by weight, the exact count can vary a little.
- What size thread fits the 0.8mm hole?
- The 0.8mm hole takes beading thread and fine needle sizes comfortably, and it allows several thread passes through one bead.
- Is Opaque Black see-through?
- No. Opaque Black is a solid finish that blocks light, unlike transparent or color-lined blacks.
- Are these good for bead embroidery?
- Yes. The even size and flat sides help them sit closely together in embroidery and loom work.
- Do Delicas work with a bead loom?
- Yes. Their uniform cylinders are a common choice for loom work because the rows stay straight.
