Opaque White Miyuki Seed Beads #402 (11/0, 2mm, 23g Tube)

Size 11/0 Opaque White Miyuki seed beads, color 402, are the workhorse white for bead weaving. At 2mm with a 0.8mm hole, they are the size most peyote, brick stitch and loom patterns are written for, and the 23g tube will see you through a good number of projects. Opaque white is the bead that gives a pattern its negative space, so it pays to keep plenty on hand. Use it for the background in bead embroidery around a cowrie or a brass focal, or as the pale stripes in a loomed cuff with turquoise and black.
