Rayher MIYUKI Delica seed beads Ø 1.6 mm, metallic matt

Rayher MIYUKI Delica seed beads Ø 1.6 mm – cylindrical glass beads in metallic matt

The Delica seed beads Ø 1.6 mm from Rayher are cylindrical glass beads by Miyuki for fine beadwork: for bead weaving, bead embroidery and canvas or tapestry work. The finish is metallic matt, giving a soft, velvety metallic sheen rather than a high-gloss metal look. Choose your colour from the options.

Delicas are cylindrical, whereas standard seed beads are rounded. When woven, Delicas sit snugly against each other and produce an even surface. At the small size of 1.6 mm, you can make delicate motifs and pieces of jewellery with a fine pattern.

What the 1.6 mm Delicas are suited to

Thanks to their even cylindrical shape, Delicas are the first choice when a woven pattern or an embroidered area needs to look neat and dense. The matt metallic finish looks more subdued than glossy beads and works well with elegant, understated jewellery. The bead hole is small, so use a fine beading needle and a thin thread that can pass through the bead several times.

Reordering a colour

According to Rayher, the original Miyuki colour number is on the lid of the tub or on the tub itself. Keep it if you want to extend a project later.
