japanese beads

 At That Bead Lady we proudly carry Miyuki and Toho brand Japanese beads.

Since 1949, Miyuki’s beads have set the world standard for quality with their uniform shape, consistent colour and brilliance. For these reasons, Miyuki is loved by beaders everywhere. Miyuki produces the widest variety of colours and finishes available on the market and we carry a vast selection of their offerings. Size 11/0 Delica and Seed Beads are the most popular, however we also carry a variety of different sizes and shapes. The quality of these beads can’t be beat, perfect for any beading project.

Toho was founded in 1951 and is one of the most well known seed bead brands on the market. Some of their beads feature special colours and finishes that are unique to the Toho brand. Toho's size 11/0 seed beads are slightly larger than Miyuki's, so be aware of that when combining them for patterns. Many readers will stick to one brand per project.
