Miyuki is the brand name of the best quality seed beads, made in Japan. They come in different sizes and shapes and can be used for weaving, stringing, crocheting, knotting, embroidery, 3D cards and much more.

The big advantage of Miyuki is the very good quality and the fact that all beads have exactly the same shape and size. This always gives a very beautiful result and Miyuki offers a lot of different colors, which give endless combinations to create.

When you see 8/0, then the number 8 means the amount of beads that fit in one inch. This means the lower the number, the larger the bead is.

To make things more clear, we divided the seed beads into the following groups: extra small, small, medium, large and extra large. The 8/0 seed beads are then medium and measure 2,1 mm in length and 3,1 mm in height.

Colortype Duracoat opaque dyed

Opaque dyed means that the color is added on top of a base color. The colors are beautiful, but this way of adding, can makes the color change or fade sooner, when there is friction or contact with skin. For this reason Duracoat is added, which is an extra layer to protect the color better. This added coating will make the beading hole a little smaller, keep this in mind when you choose your needle and thread.
