8SD544: DBL-0162 Delica Opaque Red 8/0 - 50GM is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Miyuki's 8/0 Delica beads are precision tube-cut in Japan for unusually consistent sizing and flat-sided walls that stack and align like no ordinary seed bead — and this 50g bag gives you serious working quantity. DBL-0162 brings that reliability in an opaque red with a strong rainbow AB finish layered on top.
The opaque red base reads bold and saturated on its own, but the iris finish throws dramatic multicolor reflections across the surface, so the color shifts and catches light rather than sitting flat.
Specifications
- Size: 08/0
- Color: DBL-0162 Delica Opaque Red (transparent)
- Finish: Rainbow/A.B./Iris
- Origin: Japan
- Quantity: 50g
What to make with them
The uniform shape and larger 8/0 size make these a natural choice for loom work and right-angle weave where consistent bead walls matter, and the AB finish adds movement to kumihimo braids and fringe drops without needing to mix in a separate accent bead.
