MIYUKI Delicabeads are cylindrical in shape. They were created byMIYUKI CO. LTD.in 1982. They were originally created to replace antique French metal 3-cut steel beads, and now theye've become the most popular bead in the world. Preferred by most bead artists, they are typically used for cross stitch, embroidery, and looming projects which require lots of detail. Their cylindrical shape gives each finished piece a clean and unique surface along with an amazing amount of pizzazz.
With more than 1000 colors, lots of finishes to choose from, and new colors created every year, artists around the world prefer MIYUKI over the typical Chinese or Czech beads for projects which require precision and a lot of detail. Artists around the world continue to use MIYUKI Delica's to create amazing portraits and sculptures using each bead as a single pixel.
