Originating in Japan, the uniformity and quality of the Miyuki seed beads make them among the most popular in the beading world. Their consistency in shape makes them highly favoured in the beading community, allowing for greater precision in beading projects. Miyuki seed beads come packaged in tubes for easy storage and organization in your work area. Although small, and seemingly delicate, these beads are highly durable and are able to stand multiple passes of thread when used in beadweaving. Miyuki seed beads come in hundreds of hues and finishes, giving beaders endless possibilities for color combinations and palettes.
Miyuki 8/0 seed beads, also called round rocailles, are small seed beads. They are slightly bigger than the 11/0’s, only 3mm in outer diameter with a 1mm hole diameter. Size 8/0 seed beads can be used for stitches like flat spiral, right-angle weave or Kumihimo weaving. Approximately 39 beads/gram.
