Celebrating St. Patrick's day and Springtime - shamrocks and the promise of faith. Legend has it that St. Patrick used the shamrock to communicate the doctrine of the Trinity. The three leaves combine to make a single plant, just as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost combine to make the holy Trinity.

High quality Japanese glass seed beads (a.k.a. round rocailles) by Miyuki in size 11/0 (2 mm diameter). Use this size bead for stringing on lace weight yarns and fine threads like size 8 perle cotton, size 10 crochet thread, and size 5/2 tencel thread or finer.

Beads are packaged in clear zip-top bags for easy handling; no tubes to roll around or tops popping off and spilling beads. Approximately 1550 - 1650 per 15g bag unless otherwise noted (mixes come in smaller 12g bags).
