Why Delicas and not just Seed Beads?

Delicas are the Rolls Royce of Seed beads. They are a little different in shape from other seed beads. They are a tile/tube shape. This is great, if you are doing any kind of bead weaving like loom work, peyote or brick stitch etc. they almost "click" together.

They also have a larger hole that regular seed beads - the needle will pass through more times. The larger whole also makes them lighter.

And here is the best part: Delicas are extremely uniform - no picking out beads that are non-usable because they are misshaped. Once in a while there will be one or two beads that are off in their shape.

Plus the little beauties come in over 700 colors.... If you are trying to match something, you will find a Delica that will match!

The factory numbers Delicas. The seller gives the color names - so they vary!

Please note that beads are like yarn, they have dye lots and will differ a little each time they are made. So it is best to purchase enough for each project.

These wonderful little beads are addictive.... (you have been warned)!
