Miyuki DB728 Delica 11/0 in Opaque Lilac Mauve delivers 9 grams of Japan-made, precision tube-cut cylinders in a dusty, muted purple that sits beautifully between lavender and mauve. Delicas are the go-to seed bead for loom and off-loom beadweaving because their uniform shape and large holes create tight, even fabric with minimal gaps.

The opaque finish gives this lilac mauve a flat, solid color payoff — no light passes through, so the hue reads clearly and consistently across every stitch, making it a strong choice for graphic patterns and color-blocked designs.

What to make with them

Use DB728 in peyote or brick stitch to build floral motifs, geometric bands, or lettering where the muted purple reads cleanly against both neutrals and deeper jewel tones. It also works well on the loom for woven bracelets and bag straps where consistent bead sizing keeps tension even across long rows.
