Miyuki Delica DB249 brings a soft purple Ceylon finish to the precision-cut 11/0 Delica format — the uniform tube shape and consistent 2.0–2.2 mm sizing that bead weavers rely on for tight, even stitchwork. This 9g package gives you a solid working quantity of a color that reads romantic and a little mysterious depending on the light.

The Ceylon finish gives this opaque purple glass a pearl-like inner glow — not shiny, not matte, but something quietly luminous that shifts between lavender and deeper violet as the light changes.

What to make with them

Delicas are the go-to for loom weaving and off-loom stitches like peyote and brick stitch, where their cylindrical walls lock together cleanly — this colorway works especially well in floral or geometric patterns where you want a moody, romantic tone. It also pairs naturally with metallics or neutral creams in beaded embroidery for bridal accessories or collar-style necklaces.
