Miyuki's DB2293 Delica in size 11/0 brings a glazed opaque frost purple to your work — precision tube-cut Japanese glass that locks into tight, even rows for loomwork, peyote, and brick stitch that lines up exactly as intended. This 9g package gives you a solid working quantity of a color that sits firmly in the moody-to-romantic range.
The opaque glazed finish lays down a frosted, matte-adjacent surface with a subtle depth — not flat, not shiny, but somewhere quietly in between that makes the purple read as rich without being flashy.
Delicas are the go-to cylinder bead for off-loom beadweaving, so put this purple to work in peyote amulet bags, brick stitch earrings, or a loom-woven cuff where the consistent 2.0–2.2mm sizing keeps every row flush and gap-free. The color also plays well in needle-woven bezels around cabochons or as a tonal accent stripe in mosaic-style seed bead embroidery.
