A Miyuki 11/0 seed bead measures approximately 2 mm in diameter. In the Miyuki sizing system, the larger the number, the smaller the bead: 11/0 is the standard size, between 8/0 (larger) and 15/0 (very fine).
Miyuki 11/0 seed beads are round, while Delica 11/0 seed beads are cylindrical. Delica beads offer superior uniformity and a proportionally larger hole, making them ideal for peyote stitch and brick stitch. Seed beads have a slightly more organic, rounded appearance.
For weaving (loom, peyote, brick stitch), use a weaving thread such as Nymo, C-Lon, or One-G with a Miyuki bead needle. For simple stringing, a nylon or elastic thread measuring 0.30 to 0.40 mm works very well.
