Create graphic, modern bead weaves with Miyuki Tila beads in Black Labrador Full Mat, perfect for beautifully finished bracelets and necklaces.
Their flat, square shape with two holes allows precise, even alignment, ideal for building homogeneous surfaces or geometric patterns. Tila pearls measure 5x5x1.9 mm and hold well in pearl weaves. The Black Labrador Full Mat color features a silvery gray, softened by a light-absorbing matte finish for a sober, contemporary look.
What to do with Tila Beads
These beads lend themselves well to the creation of woven bracelets with clean lines, where their double holes allow you to play with interlacing wires to obtain solid, well-defined structures. They can also be used to create an easy-to-make flat-pearl necklace, combining them with seed beads for borders or alternating with finer pearls to vary the textures. As earrings, they can be used to create sober geometric pendants, perhaps embellished with a small drop pearl to add movement.
Tutorials and technical sheets are available for beginners and experienced designers alike. You'll find practical advice on yarn selection, tension management and finishing techniques for clean, even weaves. A great way to progress at your own pace, whatever your level.
Warning:
Because of their shape, the fineness of the glass and the drilling (2 holes), Tila beads are more fragile than other Miyuki beads.
To prevent the beads from cracking or chipping, Miyuki recommends treating the bags with the utmost care.
The use of a beading mat is strongly recommended when emptying Tila Beads bags.
10 g bag (approx. 110-120 beads).
