Let your imagination run wild with this assortment of Miyuki 8/0 seed beads!
What are Miyuki beads?
These glass beads from the Japanese brand Miyuki are size 8/0 seed beads (approximately 2.2 mm in length through the hole, 3 mm in diameter).
They have a matte finish, making them ideal for all your bead projects and DIY costume jewelry creations.
How do you weave with Miyuki beads?
Miyuki beads are uniquely uniform in size, allowing the thread to be passed through them multiple times.
You can use them with or without a loom, or with a Quick Start Peyote kit, which makes it easy to begin peyote weaving.
What can you make with Miyuki beads?
Make a pretty choker, necklace, bracelet, or anklet… For example, create dangling earrings using the spiral-effect Cellini peyote stitch.

As a result, the final color of each mix may not correspond exactly to the individual colors present in the mix. Individual colors are not listed or sold separately.
