Take the Takumi LH Challenge

What is a Takumi LH? If you haven’t heard, Toho launched a new seed bead this summer. Takumi LH beads are the size and shape of a size 11/o seed bead except that the hole diameter is over 15% larger.  How much more thread can pass through? Take the challenge and see for yourself. Our record is 16 thread passes!  Imagine the design possibilities this spacious, barrier breaking bead can create.

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
