The uniform size and shape of Toho seed beads make them an excellent choice for beadwork.
Toho seed beads are usually colorfast; however, galvanized and silver-lined beads may fade over time. Protect them from bleach, excessive friction and direct sunlight to keep them looking like new.
Packaged in 50 gram bags (50 grams is approx. 2120 beads), 1/2 kilo and kilo bags (1 kilo = twenty 50 gram bags).
Although the online store displays "50 grams" as the unit of measure, please note that discounts displayed for 10 bags and for 20 bags are actually for 1/2 kilo bags and kilo bags respectively.
Seed Bead Facts
What are seed beads? Popular, tiny glass beads commonly used for weaving and embellishment.
How are they made? Glass is pulled or drawn using a hollow tube, and then the glass is cut in small pieces. They are sometimes reheated to round the ends.
What's that funny little zero? That zero refers to the number of aughts, which is a unit used to indicate the size of small beads. The scale is inverted, so larger numbers of aughts correspond to smaller beads (i.e. the bigger the number, the smaller the bead). Size 8 would be 00000000, but since that takes up too much room, it is abbreviated to 80.
