They have a larger hole and thicker wall than standard seed beads, which makes them easy to work with both jewellery, textiles and embroidery projects. The product is aimed at those who work with design, where the length and uniformity of the beads create a precise expression. The beads can be used on wire, nylon thread or sewing needle, depending on the technique and project.
Maintenance
If you want to get the most out of your Preciosa Tubes, they should be stored dry and protected from moisture. Use a strong thread or wire, as the cut ends can be slightly sharp. Cleaning is best done with a dry, soft cloth without the use of chemicals.
