Delicas® are a type of Japanese seed bead made by Miyuki. The difference between a standard seed bead and a Delica is that the edges on a Delica are not rounded. These cylindrical beads feature a larger stringing hole that is more accessible, so a needle and thread can pass through multiple times for bead-weaving purposes. Delicas are also incredibly uniform, which means they line up nicely when weaving. Miyuki Delicas are the seed bead of choice for discerning designers and DIY jewelry makers due to their consistent size and shape. Our product codes match the color codes straight from Miyuki, so it's easy to find specific colors you need!
