Preciosa Ornela 11/0 seed beads in Silk Purple arrive in a generous 6-hank quantity, giving you the volume you need for large-scale weaving, fringe work, or stocking up on a colorway you'll reach for again and again. Cut from glass tube in Bohemia, Czechia, these rocailles carry the consistent sizing and smooth stringing that serious beadworkers depend on.
The silk finish gives this opaque purple a soft, fabric-like sheen — less flashy than a metallic, more luminous than a flat matte, landing somewhere that reads rich and tactile under both natural and artificial light.
Their uniform 2.0–2.2 mm size makes them a reliable choice for peyote and brick stitch projects where tension consistency matters, and the deep purple colorway works especially well in loom-woven bands, heavily fringed earrings, or embroidered textile pieces where the silky sheen adds quiet depth across a large bead surface.
