Are par Puca® beads compatible with Miyuki beads or Seed beads?
Yes, Puca® beads are perfectly compatible with Miyuki beads (including Delicas 11/0 or Seed beads 15/0 and 8/0) and other quality seed beads. Thanks to their precise geometric shapes and multiple holes, Puca® beads integrate harmoniously into weaving projects, embroidery or structured creations with Japanese beads like this bracelet or pendant.
Which threads or needles should I use to weave multi-hole beads?
When working with Par Puca® beads, which often have two or three holes, it is essential to use fine, strong and flexible weaving threads, such as FireLine braided nylon thread or Miyuki Beading Thread. These threads easily pass several times through the holes without blocking them, while guaranteeing excellent structure retention.
When it comes to needles, opt for long, slender beading needles such as John James size 10 or 12, which allow you to pass through small holes while maintaining good maneuverability.
