Miyuki's 15/0 Delica in Opaque Sapphire Blue gives you the smallest bead in the Delica line — precision tube-cut in Japan to 1.4–1.5 mm — with a consistent shape and large hole that make tight, even beadwork genuinely achievable. This 9g package brings that reliability to peyote, loom work, and any technique where uniformity does the heavy lifting.
The opaque finish delivers a solid, non-translucent sapphire blue — the kind of saturated, graphic color that reads clearly against light or dark backgrounds without relying on sheen or shimmer.
At 15/0, these Delicas are well-suited for micro-scale peyote and brick stitch where fine detail and sharp color definition matter most — think intricate floral motifs, geometric patterns, or adding a refined border row to 11/0 beadwork. They're also a natural choice for bead embroidery around cabochons, where the tiny uniform cylinders fill curves cleanly.
