Czechoslovakian Seed Beads - Size 11
This is the preferred round bead for needlework as used in knitted, crocheted and woven bags, needlepoint and embroidery. They are available in both matte and gloss finish in a wide range of colors and lusters to satisfy most needs. Beads are made in Czechoslovakia.
The beads are sold in hanks, each hank consisting of typically 12 looped strands with a total count of approximately 4100 beads. In dimension, 19 beads will measure 1”.
HANDLING
The ends of all strung beads are weakly secured on the open end by a separate tie cord. While allowing easy removal of the individual strands from the hank, it can be a cause of frustration if a strand should come loose. This becomes a greater possibility as strands are removed and the tie cord loosens. We suggest, when storing, that all the cut strings be laid on a short length of “scotch” tape.
If handled correctly, the advantage of the strung beads is obvious..it eliminates the tedious stringing of beads. To use the beads without restringing, they are transferred to your working thread. This is accomplished by putting a small drop of quick drying glue such as “809” on your finger, overlapping the original thread and the new thread approximately 1/2” and then rolling them together between your fingers, forcing the glue into the fibers. Let dry and simply slide the beads onto the new thread.
