What to make with them
At 12/0, these fine rocailles are well-suited for detailed loom work, needle weaving, and bead embroidery where tight color blocking or intricate line work demands a small, consistent bead — and the 6-hank quantity gives you enough yardage to carry black as a background or outline color through a large statement piece without running short.
Description
Preciosa Ornela Traditional Czech glass seed beads (rocailles) in size 12/0. Each bead measures approximately 1.9 mm across with a 0.60 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.
