High quality Japanese glass drop beads by Miyuki, approximately 300 per 15g. These beads are rounded at one end, and tapered at the other end where the hole is, i.e. they look like a teardrop! and are sometimes referred to as fringe beads. Great for beads around the edge of a shawl or scarf, or dangling within a yarn over of knitted lace, etc.

Beads are packaged in clear zip-top bags for easy handling; no tubes to roll around or tops popping off and spilling beads. Approximately 300 per 15g bag.

See sample card to get approximation of color. The two transparent crystal colors are similar. Choose the cool-toned crystal (DP-250) if you want the bead to add a bit of its own bluish and pinkish tones from the Aurora Borealis (AB) finish. Choose the warm-toned crystal (DP-131) for a perfectly clear bead to add sparkle to your yarn.
