How do you weave with Miyuki beads?
Miyuki beads are unique in that they are perfectly uniform, allowing the thread to be passed through them multiple times.
You can use them with or without a weaving loom, or with a Quick Start Peyote kit, which makes it easy to get started with peyote weaving.

The colors in Miyuki mixes are achieved by dyeing several pre-mixed colors simultaneously during the manufacturing process. This can vary depending on the date of manufacture. As a result, the final color of each mix does not correspond exactly to any single color within the mix. Individual colors are not listed or sold separately.
