15SD586R: DBS0027 Delica Metallic Teal Iris 15/0 - 9GM is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Miyuki DBS0027 Delica beads in size 15/0 bring a metallic teal iris finish to the smallest cylinder in the Delica lineup — precision tube-cut Japanese glass that lines up with the tight, uniform consistency weavers rely on for intricate patterwork. This 9g package gives you a solid working quantity of a color that earns its place in a lot of palettes.
The teal base reads rich and deep, then breaks into strong multicolor rainbow reflection as the light shifts — that iris finish moves between blue, green, and violet in a way that's genuinely hard to ignore.

What to make with them
Size 15/0 Delicas are a go-to for peyote and brick stitch work where you want maximum detail and a fine, fabric-like drape — think narrow herringbone rope bracelets, micro-scale tapestry pendants, or filling in accent rows between larger bead elements. The metallic iris finish also makes these a natural choice for embroidery on fabric or leather, where the color shift catches light with every movement.
