Delica DB0109 Cream Glazed AB Japanese cylinder bead

Miyuki Delica Beads are a precision-made cylinder shaped bead with a large hole that make them ideal for loomwork, peyote, brick stitch, square stitch, and other off-loom techniques. They weave together beautifully because of their uniform rectangular profile. We refer to them by their Miyuki-given color number, as there are no "official" Miyuki color names. We sell them packaged in bags, not tubes. Why? Because we weigh each bag we sell, and if it says "5 grams", you will get 5 grams of beads, not packaging. Our standard packaging size is 5 grams, which contains approximately 1000 beads, although for some of the more expensive colors/finishes, we drop down to 2.5 gram packages to keep it affordable. A size 11 Delica is actually a smidge smaller than it's seed bead "cousin"; it is closer to a size 12/0. Please reference our Bead Size Chart for more info.
