Size & Specifications
Miyuki Seed Beads 6/0
• Approximate diameter: 4 mm
• Hole size: approx. 1.5 mm
• Shape: Round Rocailles
• Material: Japanese glass
The 6/0 seed bead size is larger than the more commonly used 8/0 and 11/0 beads, making it perfect for jewellery designs that require bold texture and greater visual impact.
Their larger hole size allows multiple thread passes and works well with thicker cords, leather and larger jewellery components.
