's are cylinder shaped seed beads created by Miyuki of Japan in 1982. Originally created to replace antique French metal 3-cut steel beads, they have become the most popular bead in the world, and are preferred by most bead artists for peyote, brick stitch, weaving, and looming projects. Their cylindrical shape gives each finished piece a unique & clean surface along with an amazing amount of detail in a very small space.
's are available in four sizes, including 8/0, 10/0, 11/0 and 15/0, however the most commonly used size is 11/0 for it's extensive color selection. Typically 's are sold in 5-7 gram tubes, however here on Amazon.com we have gone the extra mile to provide our customers with a durable and reusable premium storage solution at no extra cost to the end user. These containers are 100% compatible with the Elizabeth Ward Storage Systems.
