Frequently asked questions

Is it genuine Miyuki?

Yes. These are Miyuki beads made in Japan.

Is it the same as a Delica?

No. Delicas are straight-walled cylinders and rocailles are round. You can combine them in a design, but they do not replace each other in a loom pattern.

How many beads are in the bag?

Around 2,500 in 10 g. The exact number varies slightly between batches.

Does the colour wear off?

It is a metallic finish over the glass, so heavy rubbing can wear it. Following the tip above makes it last much longer.
