Seed Beads

The building blocks of every bead pattern. Krazy Stitcher supports palette remapping across Miyuki, Toho, and Preciosa — so you can design in one brand and switch to another with one click.

Miyuki Delica 11/0 Seed Beads

$4–$8 per tube

The gold standard for bead weaving. Perfectly uniform tubular beads with consistent sizing across all colors. Each 7.2g tube holds approximately 1,440 beads. Available in hundreds of colors and finishes.

Miyuki Delica Bundle Packs

$12–$20 per bundle

Pre-curated color palettes — Earth Picasson, Berry Patch, Denim, and more. Great for starting a project when you want coordinated colors without buying individual tubes.

Toho Round 11/0 Seed Beads

$3–$6 per tube

Japanese precision beads with slightly larger holes than Miyuki — ideal for designs requiring multiple thread passes. Excellent color range from opaques to metallics.

Toho Treasure 11/0 Beads

$4–$7 per tube

Toho's answer to the Delica — same tubular shape for precise bead weaving with Toho's signature larger hole. Excellent for peyote and brick stitch.

Preciosa Seed Beads (Czech)

$3–$6 per tube

Czech-made glass beads known for rich color saturation and excellent consistency. A favorite for brick stitch and right-angle weave projects.

Seed Bead Assortment Kits

$15–$35 per kit

Multi-color starter packs with 24-50 colors in one box. Ideal for beginners building their first palette or for testing color combinations before buying full tubes.

Thread & Stringing

The right thread makes the difference between beadwork that lasts and beadwork that falls apart. Match your thread weight to your stitch type and bead size.

Fireline Braided Thread (Smoke, 4-6lb)

$5–$12 per spool

Micro-fused braided Dyneema — the strongest fiber per diameter ever made. Smoke grey disappears in your work. 4lb for delicate peyote, 6lb for loom and structural work.

Fireline Crystal (Clear)

$5–$12 per spool

Same Fireline strength in a clear/white color. Use when working with light-colored or transparent beads where smoke grey would show through.

KO Nylon Beading Thread

$4–$7 per spool

Made in Japan, 100% nylon, pre-waxed. Colorfast, abrasion-resistant, and tangle-resistant. Knots tightly and securely. Available in 30+ colors.

Nymo Beading Thread

$3–$5 per bobbin

Classic nylon thread for lightweight beadwork. Very flexible and easy to work with for beginners. Available in sizes B, D, and F.

Wildfire Beading Thread

$6–$10 per spool

Thermally bonded beading thread that resists fraying. Will not stretch. Good alternative to Fireline for beaders who prefer a softer hand.

Thread Heaven Conditioner

$5–$8

Thread conditioner that reduces static, prevents tangling, and protects thread. Apply before beading to make any thread easier to work with.

Needles

Beading needles are thinner than sewing needles to fit through the tiny holes in seed beads. Buy in bulk — they bend and break during use.

Beading Needles — Size 10

$3–$8 per pack

Standard size for most seed bead work. Thin enough for 11/0 beads with room for multiple thread passes. Rigid with a small flexible eye.

Beading Needles — Size 12

$3–$8 per pack

Extra-fine needles for tight multi-pass stitches and smaller beads (15/0). Essential for advanced peyote and right-angle weave.

Big Eye Beading Needles

$4–$7 per pack

Split down the middle for ultra-easy threading — the entire needle is an eye. Great for beginners or beaders with vision challenges.

Twisted Wire Beading Needles

$3–$6 per pack

Flexible wire needles with a large collapsible eye. Best for stringing and light beadwork. Excellent for loom work and finishing.

Looms

Essential for loom stitch patterns created in Krazy Stitcher. Choose a starter kit for bracelets or an adjustable loom for larger projects.

The Beadsmith Metal Bead Loom Kit

$15–$25

Complete starter kit with metal loom (12.5" x 2.5" x 3"), thread, needles, and 18g of glass beads. Sturdy construction. Good for bracelets and narrow projects.

Adjustable Bead Loom

$20–$45

Expandable wooden or metal looms with adjustable length for wider and longer projects. Multiple tension settings. Better for serious loom work.

The Beadsmith ComfortLoom

$35–$55

Ergonomic standing loom with angled work surface and 4 length settings (7.5" to 10.5" work area). Reduces neck and back strain during long sessions.

Tools & Accessories

The workspace essentials that make beading easier — from pliers for finishing to mats that keep your beads from rolling off the table.

Beading Pliers Set (3-Piece)

$8–$18 per set

Chain-nose, round-nose, and flat-nose pliers for finishing work — attaching clasps, opening jump rings, crimping. Essential for wearable jewelry.

Bead Storage Organizer Boxes

$8–$20

Multi-grid containers with adjustable dividers and clear lids. Keeps bead colors sorted and visible. Label stickers included.

Flocked Bead Mat

$5–$12

Soft, velvety work surface that prevents beads from rolling and bouncing. Usually 9"x12" or larger. Gray or neutral color to see beads clearly.

Bead Scooper & Tray Set

$5–$10

Small scoops and sorting trays for picking up and organizing beads while you work. Triangular trays pour beads back into tubes cleanly.

Scissors & Thread Cutters

$4–$10

Fine-point embroidery scissors or thread cutters for precision trimming. Sharp enough to cut Fireline and snip thread flush against beadwork.

Lighting & Magnification

Seed beads are tiny. Good lighting and magnification save your eyes and help you catch color accuracy — especially during long beading sessions.

LED Magnifying Craft Lamp (3x-10x)

$20–$60

Daylight LED with built-in magnifying lens. Clamp or base mount. Adjustable brightness and arm position. Saves your eyes and catches color accuracy.

Bead Buddy Sight Light Magnifier

$15–$25

Wearable visor with swivel LED light and 3 interchangeable lens strengths (1.6X, 2X, 2.25X). Hands-free magnification. Lightweight for extended wear.

OttLite Desk Lamp

$25–$80

Full-spectrum daylight LED desk lamp designed for crafters. Reduces eye strain and shows true bead colors. Multiple models from compact to studio-size.
