Preciosa Ornela 8/0 Czech glass seed beads in Opaque Soft Lavender come by the hank, giving you a generous working supply of this cool, muted purple cut from Bohemian glass tubing. The 2.8–3.2 mm size hits a sweet spot — substantial enough to show off color in larger-scale work, yet still versatile for detailed patterning.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent face of soft lavender that reads clearly in any light, making it a reliable anchor color for graphic, high-contrast designs.

What to make with them
Use them in loom-woven bands and peyote cuffs where that flat, consistent color creates clean geometric or floral motifs, or string them into knotted necklaces and rosary-style chains where the slightly larger 8/0 size lets the lavender tone carry real visual weight.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 08/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.9 mm across with a 0.90 mm (approx.) hole. These round seed beads are made using Preciosa's tube-cutting and hot-polishing process, which gives them a gently rounded shape and consistent hole size that works beautifully for loom work, off-loom bead weaving, bead embroidery, and general stringing projects. Use them anywhere you need classic Czech rocailles—from intricate peyote and brick stitch to fringe, edging, and multi-strand designs. Not a toy. Not intended for children under 15 years. Seed beads should be kept away from small children due to the risk of swallowing or inhalation.
