Miyuki Half Tila beads are two-hole, flat rectangular Japanese seed beads, here in the HTL439 Opaque Chartreuse Luster finish. At about 5mm long, 2.3mm wide and 1.9mm thick with 0.8mm holes, they are half the length of standard Tila beads, so they suit finer bands, edging and tight beadwork where full Tila is too long. Miyuki is Japan's oldest seed bead maker and the reference standard for uniform shape and color consistency; the trade-off is that two-hole beads demand more threading care and the small holes limit heavy thread and thick needles.
