Our 6mm Japanese bugle beads are slender cylinders, perfect for both stringing and needle weaving. They also make excellent fringe. With smooth holes and clean-cut edges, they can be used with a size 10 beading needle and size D beading thread for all off-loom stitches and bead embroidery. They will also accommodate 22 gauge wire and .024" beading wire. Learn all about seed beads in our Seed Bead Q and A.
