| Delicas
UPDATE - CHANGE TO DELICA CODES - to make it easier for you to search for delicas by number we have changed all the codes to 4 digits - eg DB108 wil now be DB0108, DB041 will be DB0041 etc. Delicas are precisely manufactured beads, tubular in shape, with a generous hole size in proportion to the overall bead. They are ideal for woven projects because the beads are all the same size and shape, the colour range is extensive and allows for much creativity in design, and also the generous hole allows several threads to be passed through each bead in the weaving process. Delicas equate roughly to a size 12 seed bead although they are often referred to in patterns as a 'Delica 11'. Originally manufactured for the creation of beaded pictures used in wall decoration in Japan, to create the desired breadth of colours in the range some of the bead colours are dyed and these colours may come off through rubbing or exposure to light. Delica codes are all prefixed with DB. |
