- What is the difference between Delica 11/0 and regular seed beads?
- Delicas are cylinders, not rounds, so they line up in flat, even rows with almost no gaps. Regular 11/0 seed beads are rounder and leave small spaces in woven work.
- How many beads come in 10 grams?
- About 2000 beads per 10 grams, per Miyuki's count. That is roughly enough for a small woven panel or several narrow bands.
- What thread fits through the 0.8mm hole?
- The 0.8mm hole takes standard beading thread, including doubled thread and most nylon or fireline weights. Very thick cord will not pass.
- Is Opaque Agate Blue a matte or shiny finish?
- It is an opaque, solid color with no luster or transparency. It reads as a flat blue rather than a metallic or silver-lined bead.
- Will the color match if I buy more later?
- Miyuki dye lots can vary between production runs, so match lot numbers when you need an exact color across a large project.
- What stitches work best with these beads?
- Peyote, brick, square stitch and loom work suit Delicas best, because those stitches rely on even, stacked rows.
