Miyuki's limited edition series of Baroque finish beads are available only in size 5/0 and 6/0 seed beads. Derived from the Portuguese word 'barroco' or 'oddly shaped pearl', these gorgeous baroque seed beads are subtlety faceted so they reflect the light softly. Inspired by the rarest (and most expensive) cultured pearls, they are perfect when you want to add a vintage feel to your designs.
The baroque collection is Miyuki's only surface-textured bead series. Try them as accents or spacers in necklaces and bracelets or add them to your next bead embroidery project. I love seeing them knitted into cobweb-style shawls, or made into a stitched cuff.
These textured beads come in an array of luscious colors including white, cream, pale pink, gold, antique brass, silver, and olive.
Convenient for knitting, the size 6/0 beads string up like 4mm beads while the 5/0s are larger and have a bit more weight. All baroque beads are available in 10 gram tubes and 50 and 100 gram bags. Be sure to check your pattern to see how many beads you will need.
You can find the Baroque beads' item numbers 3951 through 3957. View the entire Baroque bead collection here.
