Miyuki Delicas 11/0 glass beads for jewelry making & bead weaving

Weaving with 11/0 Delica Beads

Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads are cylindrical Japanese seed beads with thin walls and a large hole. As a result, they align precisely to the millimeter, sit evenly side by side, and allow the thread to pass through multiple times—a real advantage for peyote stitch or brick stitch.

With a diameter of about 1.6 mm and a height of 1.3 mm, they produce a dense, flat, and even weave. This is the size most commonly found in weaving patterns and tutorials: ideal for beginners and fine enough for precise patterns.

What projects can you make with Delica 11/0 beads?

• Bracelets on a loom: geometric patterns, color gradients… follow the tutorial for this 11/0 Delica bracelet or this diamond-pattern bracelet.
• Cuffs: a wide woven band, as in this DIY Delica cuff project.
• Earrings, rings, and pendants: brick stitch and peyote stitch create lightweight, precise pieces.
• Personalized jewelry: initials and numbers using alphabet and number weaving charts.

Beginners: Start with a small bracelet on the loom using a few colors. Experienced crafters: Play with contrasts—a matte background accented with metallic or AB touches always makes a statement.
