- What are Delica beads used for?
- They suit bead weaving stitches like peyote, brick and square stitch, plus loom work. Their cylinder shape keeps rows straight and even.
- How do Delicas compare with regular seed beads?
- Delicas are cylindrical with thin walls and large holes, while most seed beads are rounder with smaller holes. That makes Delicas easier to weave tightly but less flexible for curved embroidery.
- How many beads come in each weight?
- About 200 beads per gram, roughly 500 in 2.5 grams, 1,000 in 5 grams and 2,000 in 10 grams.
- What does the Picasso finish look like?
- It is a mottled, slightly varied turquoise rather than a flat opaque color, so individual beads differ.
- What size needle and thread work with them?
- The large holes take standard beading thread and size 10 to 12 beading needles. Very thick needles may not pass through every bead.
- Are these beads colorfast?
- The opaque finish is dyed and may vary between batches. Keep finished work out of prolonged direct sun and avoid harsh cleaners.
