miyuki duracoat opaque dyed pansy 2118

The Miyuki Delica beads are recognized worldwide for their exceptional quality and high-precision Japanese manufacturing. Their perfectly regular cylindrical shape allows for flat, uniform, and professional-looking creations.

Thanks to their precise sizing, the Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads are particularly suited for bead weaving techniques such as peyote, brick stitch, and loom weaving. The wide variety of available colors allows for detailed patterns and refined creations.

The Opaque Dyed finish involves applying color to a glass base to achieve specific shades that cannot be produced by traditional dyeing methods. Although these colors are particularly rich and attractive, they may be more sensitive to abrasion and prolonged contact with skin.

To enhance their durability, Miyuki applies a Duracoat treatment, an additional protective coating that helps to preserve the shine and intensity of the colors over time. This finish thus offers better longevity than classic Opaque Dyed beads.

Due to this additional protective layer, the hole of the bead is slightly narrower. It is therefore recommended to take this into account when choosing the thread and needle used for your creations.
