Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in opaque slate blue come in a 6-hank quantity, giving you serious working volume of this versatile, muted blue-grey tone. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocaille seed beads carry the consistent sizing and smooth stringing behavior that Czech glass is known for.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent slate blue — a cool, grounded tone that holds its own in graphic patterns without competing with neighboring colors.
The 11/0 size is a go-to for loom weaving, peyote, and brick stitch work where color blocking and crisp pattern edges matter — slate blue reads clearly against warm neutrals, bright corals, or stark whites. With six hanks on hand, you have enough to commit to larger statement pieces like wide cuffs, detailed tapestry panels, or fringe-heavy designs without rationing your beads mid-project.

Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 11/0. Each bead measures approximately 2.1 mm across with a 0.70 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.
