What size are these seed beads?

They are 2mm Round Rocailles, roughly a size 11/0 seed bead. That size suits fine needles and bead embroidery.

Are these good for beginners?

Yes, if you have good light and patience. The beads are small, so a bead mat and a fine needle help.

What can I make with this box?

Bead embroidery, bead weaving, bracelets, and small Christmas ornaments. The 12 colors suit small to medium projects.

Is this the same as Miyuki Delica beads?

No. Round Rocailles are round glass seed beads; Delicas are cylinder-shaped and stack more tightly in weaving.

How many beads come in the box?

The box holds 12 colors in small compartments. Each color is a modest amount, best for sampling rather than large pieces.

Our take on the Miyuki Round Rocailles Seed Beads 12 Colors Starter Box

A starter box of Miyuki Round Rocailles seed beads in 12 colors, sized 2mm (about size 11/0). Miyuki's Japanese glass beads are known for even shape and a wide hole, which makes them easier to thread and to line up in beadwork than many budget seed beads. The box suits beginners building a first palette and beaders who want a small, tidy set for embroidery and bead weaving. Against loose-tube rivals it offers color variety in one box, but 12 colors is a modest range and the small bead size asks for good light and a fine needle.
