Miyuki seed beads, size 15/0

Miyuki seed beads, size 15/0 are here! 36 beautiful colors from sterling silver and 24 karat gold-plated to matte and luster finishes.

Only the bravest souls bead entirely with 15/0 seed beads. These beads are really small, so they are usually used as an addition to size 11/0, for example when the pattern needs to narrow off. Edges of beaded settings and bezels for cabochons and Swarovski crystals are good examples.

Our first 35 colors are therefore chosen to complement the assortment of 11/0 seed beads and delicas. We look forward to expanding the assortment and as always, your suggestions and wishes are most welcome.

So what about beading needles? What needle size is right for these tiny beads?

Everybody have their own favorites, but we usually work with beading needles #12, this size will fit both 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads and it is a good "default" option to start with. If and when it gets a little tight, an even thinner needle might be good to have on hand. Here you can see our best selling needle kit with 3 practical sizes, but there are thinner needles as well.

When it comes to thread, Fireline 6LB is our first choice when beading with seed beads 15/0. Choose white Fireline for light colors and black for all the dark shades.

You might want some color or maybe as invisible thread as possible if bead embroidery is what you do. There are some other options to consider. Click on the image!
