- How big are these beads?
- They are 11/0 size, about 2mm in diameter and 1.3mm thick, with a 0.8mm hole. That fits standard beading thread and thin needles.
- How many beads come in a pack?
- About 1,111 beads per 10g, according to Miyuki. Counts vary slightly by color and finish.
- How do Round Rocailles compare with Delica beads?
- Delica are cylinder-shaped and stack tightly for flat, even beadwork. Round Rocailles are rounder, so they suit stitching, stringing and fringe where a softer, rounder look is wanted.
- What is Opaque Periwinkle?
- It is a solid, light blue-violet color with no transparency. The opaque finish means thread won't show through the bead.
- Are these good for bead weaving?
- Yes. Their even size and consistent color make them a common choice for bead weaving, loom work and embroidery.
- What size needle and thread work with them?
- The 0.8mm hole takes standard beading thread and fine needles, such as size 10 to 12 beading needles. Test your thread for fraying on the bead edges.
