Product Details

  • Miyuki Delica (DB) size 11/0 and Delica Medium (DBM) 10/0 glass beads are cylindrical with square ends and are uniform in size
  • The center hole is large which makes them light and allows your thread to pass through the bead multiple times

Size 11/0: Unless marked differently, each tube contains approximately 5 grams which is 900 to 1000 beads (approx. 600 beads when sold in 3 gram quantity). The variation in quantity is due to the different finishes on the beads.

*Notice
Please follow appropriate handling referring to the above information and the following notices when they are applied to textile goods or accessories that touch the skin directly.
Some beads are dyed, galvanized or plated. The colors on the outer layers may come off, if rubbed, or if soaked in a strong solvent.
Silverline or galvanized beads are oxidized. When applied to certain fabrics that are acidic, they may decay or turn dark due to the chemical change. In order to avoid this, neutralize your fabrics and threads before embroidering.
Some dyed color beads might fade by the sunlight.

 

We have provided a color sample for each bead color, however please use these only as a rough guide. The actual color may vary significantly from the sample picture. This variation is due to the different finishes on the beads and how they react to different light sources. Computer monitors may show colors differently.
