It is the bead size: about 2 mm across with roughly a 0.8 mm hole. That is small enough for fine bead weaving and large enough for easy threading.

Will the gold finish rub off?

Galvanized is a surface coating, and many beaders report it wears with friction. Keep it away from skin contact and abrasion on pieces that get heavy use.

How many beads are in 50g?

Roughly 4,000 to 4,500 beads, depending on batch. That is enough for several small woven pieces.

Are these good for bead weaving and loom work?

Yes. Their uniform size and large hole are why weavers choose Miyuki over cheaper seed beads.

How do they compare with Czech seed beads?

Miyuki 11/0 are more uniform and thread more easily, but cost more. Czech beads vary more in size and hole.

Can I use them in a bead loom?

Yes, the consistent size keeps warp rows even. The large hole also suits doubled thread.

Our take on the Miyuki Round Seed Beads Size 11/0 50g Bulk Galvanized Gold

Miyuki 11/0 round seed beads are Japanese glass beads known for their uniform size and large hole, which makes them easy to thread and forgiving in bead weaving. This 50g bulk pack in galvanized metallic gold suits repeat makers who go through beads fast: loom work, bead weaving, embroidery and stringing. Compared with cheaper Czech or generic seed beads, Miyuki's consistency cuts down on culling and uneven rows, which is why beaders pay more for them. The galvanized finish is the trade-off: it is a surface coating, and many beaders report it wears or rubs off with friction and handling.
