Miyuki's 15/0 Delica in Opaque Chalk White gives you the smallest Delica format with all the precision-cut consistency the line is known for — uniform cylinder shape, thin walls, and a large hole that keeps tension even across every stitch. The 50g quantity means you can commit to large-scale projects without worrying about running short mid-work.
The opaque chalk white finish delivers a solid, non-translucent surface that reads as a clean, graphic white — no depth or shimmer, just reliable, flat coverage that holds its own against any color it sits beside.
At 1.4–1.5mm, these tiny cylinders are well-suited for intricate peyote and brick stitch work where fine detail matters — think delicate floral motifs, micro-scale lettering, or the tight background fills that make a focal element pop. They're also a go-to for bead weaving projects with a bridal or minimalist aesthetic, where a consistent, uninterrupted white ground is exactly what the design calls for.
