Looking for a larger hole in a seed bead? Introducing the NEW TAKUMI LH 11/o Seed Bead by TOHO!

 

New Takumi LH 11/0 Seed Bead

Toho has revolutionized the 11/0 seed bead! The Takumi LH is an 11/0 seed bead with a larger hole and it can be used in place of all regular 11/0 beads in patterning. This gives more flexibility to your beading by allowing for more thread to pass through the bead.

Also, larger hole size means more beads per gram!
110 pieces/gram of Round 11/o vs. 124 pieces/gram of Takumi LH 11/o
