Miyuki Delica 11/0 in Crystal AB delivers the precision-cut, uniform cylinder shape Delicas are known for, loaded with a strong rainbow iridescence that catches light from every angle. If you're working a pattern that needs consistent coverage and serious sparkle, this 9g package gives you real working quantity.
The transparent crystal base lets light pass through while the AB finish throws dramatic multicolor reflections — shifting rainbow flashes that read differently depending on your light source and viewing angle.

What to make with them
Delicas' flat-sided cylinder shape makes them ideal for loom work and peyote stitch, where their tight fit creates a smooth, fabric-like surface that really shows off that iridescent shift. They're also a go-to for fringe, netting, and right-angle weave whenever you want a piece with genuine light-catching presence.
