- What is the difference between Delica 11/0 and regular 11/0 seed beads?
- Delicas are cylinders with flat sides rather than rounded seed beads. They line up in neat rows for bead weaving, while round seed beads sit less evenly.
- How many beads are in 10 grams?
- Miyuki lists about 2,000 beads per 10 grams for 11/0 Delicas. The count is approximate because it is sold by weight.
- What thread fits through the 0.8mm hole?
- The 0.8mm hole takes standard bead-weaving threads, including doubled thread and multiple passes. Very thick cord will not fit.
- Is this bead opaque or see-through?
- DB-1490 is opaque white with a glazed finish, so light does not pass through it. Thread behind the bead is not visible.
- Can I use these for embroidery and loom work?
- Yes. The even cylinder shape is made for loom work, bead embroidery and peyote stitch. The flat sides help rows stay straight.
- Does the glazed finish wear off?
- The glaze is a surface finish, so heavy friction against skin or metal can dull it over time. Store finished pieces away from abrasion.
