What are Miyuki beads?
These small glass beads from the Japanese brand Miyuki are seed beads.These are Miyuki Delica size 11/0 beads—they’re a favorite among beaders! They have a translucent quality that lets light pass through the bead and a luster finish that gives them a glossy sheen. Consistent in size and shape, they’re ideal for all your bead weaving projects and DIY costume jewelry creations.
With their large holes, they allow the thread to be passed through multiple times. You can use them with or without a beading loom, or with a Quick Start Peyote kit, which makes it easy to get started with peyote weaving.
What can you do with Miyuki beads?
There’s a wide variety of stunning colors to choose from for creating handmade jewelry. Pair them, mix them, and combine them however you like!
