Black Hex Beads
Date:December 6, 2012
Cons: Ease of Use, Size
Creation: beaded bracelet with brick stitch
"I expected a higher quality bead with more size consistency than I got. I bought the beads to use in a bracelet using a brick stitch. While some of the beads were well shaped, some of them had pointed edges or were longer than other ones. Overall the black hex beads I used were more consistent than the crystal or copper ones."

Creation: tam
"I bought these to add to a knitted lace tam. The yarn is a fine fingering weight and they were to be added with a crochet hook. Used to using Delica beads on other projects, I was disappointed with the great variation in inner diameter (important when jamming a teeny tiny crochet hook complete with a fold of yarn thru the bead). I also noted some variation in actual bead length. I think this is just a factor in this shade of this bead, the two other shades I bought (frosted transparent teal and silver lined-gold) are just fine."
