Miyuki DB2183 Delica 11/0 beads in Duracoat Silver Lined Raisin Satin deliver a deep, moody purple in the precision tube-cut cylinder format that weavers reach for when every bead needs to sit flush and true. The Duracoat finish means the color holds up to regular wear without the fading concerns of standard dyed beads.

Transparent glass over a reflective silver core gives the raisin tone an inner glow — rich and dimensional rather than flat, with a satin quality that keeps the sparkle from reading as flashy.

What to make with them

The uniform cylinder shape makes these a natural for loom weaving and off-loom stitches like peyote and brick stitch, where tight bead-to-bead alignment lets the color read as a continuous field. They're equally well-suited to bead embroidery projects where you want a deep jewel-toned accent that catches light without competing with surrounding elements.
