Miyuki Delicas

If you want to browse by colour, or need to substitute, we have pages organized by colour.

Many patterns (i.e. amulet bags, etc.) call for Delicas by product number — we have used the standard numbering system and we have pages where they are organized by number.

These premium Japanese beads are equivalent to size 11/0 beads, but are tiny perfect tubes, instead of little donuts. Their consistency is awe-inspiring. When worked up in a woven or loomed stitch, they are almost architectural. There are hundreds of colours, and we will be adding to them on an ongoing basis. These are THE beads for amulet bags, beadweaving, and creating pictures with beads.

Can you spot the imposters? Three of these silver-lined gold size 11 beads are Czech.
The rest are Japanese delicas. (The beads shown total 13 mm in length).

Our Delicas are packaged in 7.5 gram bags (except some of the very expensive metal, i.e. gold, beads, which are in 5 or 2.5 grams bags to make them affordable!)

When you add a package to your shopping cart, clicking on "Continue Shopping" will bring you back to this main delica page. To go back to the page you were on — click on the "back" button on your browser.

Hope that helps! Have fun!

Key to finishes

Please note that we have personally scanned every colour we have for you, instead of presenting you with a scan of the standard company "sample card" which gives you a picture of about 8 beads on a wire, with pictures that are so small you can't see a darn thing. ;-) We want you to be able to really see the beads. Don't forget to click on the thumbnails for a larger version.
